Details

You will attend the Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase on January 5th. You will be expected to be on-site from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. The event will take place at The Bridge Sports Complex.

The main objective for this one-day event are headshots of each athlete in attendance, delivered the day of the event. During check-in, we will have each player come to you for a standard headshot. This way, each player will at least have one photo taken of them. Scroll to the bottom for instructions regarding the headshots. Share all photos via Google Drive, Dropbox or We Transfer via JPEG and PNG files only.

In regard to action photos during the gameplay, we don't need to capture the perfect play nor do we need many photos, but we are looking for clear photos of the front of players (Number and face visible). Anywhere from 15-20 total action shots during the day is more than sufficient. Maximize the downtime! Play stoppages and in-between the action photos are the #1 goal and lead to the best photos for our use. Light edits are recommended but photos don't need to be perfect.

You will be asked to share all photos with our media team as soon as possible - and no later than leaving the event - via Google Drive or DropBox so that we can utilize them in a timely fashion.
