Media mania!
The World Carp Classic draws an incredible amount of media attention every year, not just during the event, but all throughout the calendar year. Here’s a brief look at this aspect
PAPA PAPARAZZI..
We receive a huge amount of requests for on-site presence from press and media teams all over the world, in fact, so many apply that we have been forced to control the number of teams attending. Press & Media passes were put into place to prevent a ‘paparazzi’ situation arising throughout the event. We understand the desire to report on
the event live and appreciate the interest, but it cannot be allowed to go unchecked. As responsible event organizers, fish care and safety is of primary importance to us and we will not have this compromised by overzealous media activity. Please report any such incidents to us immediately so that action can be taken.
WCC FILM CREW ..
A World Carp Classic Film Crew, familiar to past contestants, will be on-site throughout the event capturing VT on all aspects long before the opening ceremony to beyond the closing ceremony and prize giving. Your cooperation with the team is requested at all times… they are aware of the boundaries and will not infringe upon any of the set guidance’s. Daily video reports will be uploaded to the official website and youtube throughout the event.
GLOBAL TV CREWS ..
There will be TV crews on site from the USA, China, Hungary, Italy, Poland, the UK and Czech rep. Last year, in China alone, on the main stream national TV channel there
was an incredible viewing audience of over 90Million who watched the 6 x 30 minute TV series. All crews will be recognizable by the official Media and Press passes on display.
IN-HOUSE TEAMS ..
Our own media team will be on site to cover every aspect of the event as it happens, the team will also upload images and information onto the official website. There will also be several other teams on site and these will display passes to identify them as approved Press and Media.
EVENT UPDATES There will be an ongoing catch report update on the event website as fish captures are reported to HQ. Every fish caught will be added as an unofficial result 3 times a day. The results will later be made official when the catch reports, which must be signed by both the angler and marshal, are verified at event HQ. Catch reports and information will also be uploaded to twitter and Facebook throughout the event.
LIVE WEBCAMS We will be running a trial on webcams to provide a ‘big brother’ opportunity. We intend to have webcams set up at different locations to enable everyone to watch activity live throughout the event. One camera will be set up in the Town square in Bolsena to capture opening parade and ceremony and webcams will be positioned at key locations around the lake to provide views of the anglers. Please note: whilst waving to your mother is considered to be an acceptable practice, other hand gestures may not be!
AROUND THE WORLD The footage captured by our webcams will be shown around the world via live- streaming and, with good wifi access possible around the lake, competitors may possibly be able to watch themselves, surely, that’s a first!

Big Screen Livecam!
A big screen and PA system will be
set up in Bolsena town square, next to the hall for the opening ceremony. The screen will provide viewing for those not in the main building during the
ceremonies and also throughout the event via various webcams providing a pleasant opportunity for visitors as they frequent the nearby cafés and bars.
