The deadline is 11:59pm on May 1, according to your time zone (determined by the IP address on your computer.)

Resume: Must include dates and be in English. Please note that in addition to demonstrating that you are a serious aspiring sports photographer, the resume is also the tool that the DPPF uses to determine that your level of experience does not exceed the limits of eligibility. Entry is FREE
