The Summit Photography Workshops are excited to announce the 2018 Sports Photography Contest! Open to photographers of all levels, the winner of this contest will receive a free tuition to the 2018 Summit Sports Photography Workshop in Denver, Colorado, or, our Sports Workshop in California!
The Summit Workshops are the longest running and most highly acclaimed photography education program in the United States. They currently offer the premiere sports photography workshops in the country and are proud to train and foster new generations of photographers. Sponsored by Nikon, the Summit Sports Workshop brings together 40-50 students every year to learn from world renowned photographers and magazine editors from Nikon, Sports Illustrated, The Player’s Tribune, and Getty.
Each year, one participant at the Sports Workshop is granted the Bill Eppridge Award which gains them a real sports assignment with The Player’s Tribune. It is a truly amazing opportunity for up and coming photographers to get their foot in the door of professional sports journalism. Bill Eppridge was a legendary photojournalist who spent most of his career working for Life magazine and Sports Illustrated. During the course of his career with Life, Eppridge covered, among other stories, revolutions in Latin America, the Beatles’ arrival in the U.S., a young Barbra Streisand, a story on heroin addiction and the funeral of slain civil rights worker James Chaney in Mississippi in 1964. Eppridge is perhaps most famously known for photographing the death of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in 1968.
Sports Photography Workshop will run:
Denver July 11-16, 2018
