Photography Bids Graphic

Kearsley Community Schools is in the process of securing bids for our Sports and Dance photography needs. We currently field 55 athletic teams between the high school and middle school. We also sponsor multiple clubs (ex: Dance) at both the high school and middle school. We also will utilize this service for band and choir programs. In addition to the school-based programs, this contract will service our youth sports programs (these include boys’ and girls’ basketball, baseball, softball, wrestling, and volleyball).

We also sponsor a number of school-based dances throughout the year (ex: Mommy/Son, Daddy/Daughter, Homecoming, etc.). Kearsley Community Schools is looking to pass all savings to our community/parents so please take that into account when quoting your pricing.

Here is a list of required services:

  • Provide photo services for all KHS, AMS, and Kearsley sponsored youth sports teams along with Band and Choir

  • Provide photography services for KHS Homecoming Dance, Sadie’s Dance, and Prom (Saturday evenings) along with Daddy-Daughter and Mother-Son Dances (Fridays)

  • Provide action shots for every KHS sports team each season to assist the yearbook and athletic department. Upload these to a shared drive for staff access.

  • Provide group photos for all KHS organizations/clubs/groups to be scheduled on one day in the auditorium.

  • A printed 8x10 and 5x7 of each team provided to the Athletic Office.

  • Unlimited digital access to all photos in a password protected online portal for athletic/newspaper/yearbook/district communications staff to access at any time.

  • All State Photos when needed for our Wall of Fame

  • Vinyl banners for varsity teams and band if requested

Optional Additional Services:

  • Senior Headshots (for $5 - $10) during registration/first day of school for Yearbook use

We will be giving strong consideration to those minimizing the cost for our families as that is at the forefront of our decision making. We would like to secure a price structure for a two or possibly three-year contract.

Please submit your proposal along with samples of work and references to Athletic Director Keith Saxton by June 1, 2024 either in person in the High School Athletic Office or via email to ksaxton@kearsleyschools.org
