New Photography Asset Access Members and Players 2023-2026

BWF’s goal is to grow the popularity of badminton, increase the fanbase, and create new value opportunities for stakeholders.

To do this effectively and efficiently, we rely on these stakeholder groups to also commit to the digital promotion of the sport on their channels. As such, we have worked with our third-party partners to offer tools and assets to our key stakeholder groups to aid their storytelling and promotion initiatives.


Photography

BWF has entered a consolidated partnership with our service provider Badmintonphoto whereby both Parties are co-owners of the images.

Members will have FREE access to images at the following tournaments subject to the usage guidelines outlined below. Strictly no third-party usage is permitted. Additional paid packages with greater rights usage are available via Badmintonphoto.

If your Member Association account has not been set up, please contact [email protected]. Note, only one email access per stakeholder group will be granted.

A reminder that your Players also have FREE access to low resolution images subject to the below guidelines. Players can register for an athlete account HERE.
