The North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) is again providing an opportunity for up to ten college students to attend NANPA's Twelfth Annual Nature Photography Summit in Denver, Colorado on February 7-12, 2006.
Students qualify for scholarships via an application process including a portfolio submission. A major in art or photography is not required, but students must demonstrate their passion for nature photography to a selection committee. Applicants must be full-time students at a two or four year college, university or trade school and be at least 18 years of age by December 31, 2005. The deadline for applications is October 15th, 2005.
At the Denver Summit, students will be treated to a pre–summit photo field trip, daily sessions with professionals, portfolio reviews, time with keynote speakers and the opportunity to interact with mentors throughout the conference. The scholarship students will also be given the opportunity to explore and apply for a variety of photography internships.
NANPA is an international nature photography organization whose mission is to provide education, foster professional and ethical conduct, gather and disseminate information, and develop standards for all persons interested in the field of nature photography. NANPA also promotes nature photography as an art form and a medium of communication for the sciences, nature appreciation and environmental protection.
