UNPA Contest Call For Entries

Sorry we’re late getting this out this year, but it’s time to start thinking about the UNPA contest again. The deadline will be February 26, 2010 at 11:59 pm.

The main site to enter the contest is: http://utahnewsphotos.com/contest/

This year we have added video screencasts that demonstrate how to enter the contest online. In addition, you can enter the SPJ contest simultaneously.

The site has all contest rules and entry information, as well as easy to follow tutorials on how to enter the various categories. If you have any questions feel free to ask Trent Nelson, Eli Lucero, or Jason Olson for help. This year you still have the option of sending in a CD with your photos as well to:

Eli Lucero

The Herald Journal

75 West 300 North

Logan UT 84321

Thanks for your continued support of the UNPA contest. The awards banquet in Laura Seitz’s backyard was a highlight of the year and will be hard to beat.

If anyone on your staff (or anyone else you feel should be invited) didn’t receive this, please forward it along.

Nice work Trent.

No wonder they lost, he’s totally bored.
— Brian Nicholson on Kobe Bryant Arrives
Scott, this is an amazing, though chilling, frame.
— Trent Nelson on Accident investigation
I just want to say that I’m learning a lot from this coversation. Thanks everyone.
— Trevor Christensen on Questions questions
Huh…. Nice boom light. How much do you think the SLFD would charge to rent that bad boy out to drop a little light in a hard to get to place for an upcoming shoot?
— Bryan William Jones on Accident investigation
Great job Trent, way to find the angles.

Garry that’s one thing I see as a positive in all this. Though I’m not getting a day rate, it does at least open a few new doors to me that otherwise might not open. Even at the high school level of sports they require a UHSAA credential (different scenario, but the restricted access idea is the same) While I’m not banking on the idea of spec shooting as being my largest source of income, at least for me right now I see it as a step forward.

A question I have is what about credentials? As a freelancer and especially doing spec shooting, it is so difficult to get credentials. Granted great photos may be had at events without such, but getting into the inner circle where the photos are is out. There’s also the cost of events, there are times one can’t afford the cost. I remember getting into many events just showing the press I.D., for instance the zoo. Great place to find a feature photo, but can’t afford the entrance fee now, and just to get a photo to add to the portfolio...

Lol, the “no worries” was in direct reference to the no gf/wife/child/dependant thought. I have plenty of worries in my life Senor Smith. And I definitely understand the idea of not needing professional sports to make great photos. I shoot a lot of concerts, and I think some of my best images were from unknown artists at Kilby Court. And while the idea is true that you can make great images no matter what scene your in, (correct me if I’m wrong) the fact of the matter is that no matter what, even a great photo at a high school...

Man, I do need your life you. No worries? You must have a good stock of Diet Coke. I’m jealous. Don’t worry. They’ll come if you decide to become a freelancer or you decide to get a girlfriend. Kidding aside, spec shooting is a bad idea. I tell kids in college it’s not. Why? It’s a means of shooting and portfolio building. Is it smart? No. But when you’re in college you have a miniature world at your disposal. No real life pressures or expenses. Basically you can do whatever you want. It’s a great time to...
