3. If you need to borrow a camera, let me know when you sign up for a pitch.

4. Take as many photos as you think fit the assignment, then select the best 5–10. Feel free to use editing software as needed (and let me know if you need Lightroom access).

Photo pitches

Please send in all photos by 12 pm on the deadline (unless the event you are covering is happening that day). If you need to borrow a camera, let me know when you sign up for a pitch.

Sports

These games require coverage at specific times and locations. The angle of the photo should be more in action pictures instead of still pictures.

  1. A writer is covering women's hockey weekend series at Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on Friday (7 p.m.) and Saturday (3 p.m.). Attend just one and take photos. Deadline: November 12th
