When trying to access either the MEDIA_URL or STATIC_URL in the template, it is important to add the following to the template context processor in settings.py:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += (
    "django.core.context_processors.media",
    "django.core.context_processors.static",
)

Setting the MEDIA_URL or the STATIC_URL in settings.py is not enough.
