*YSA PHOTOGRAPHY
We are looking for YSAs, ages 18-30, to come into our studio in Provo, sit down in our chair, and be photographed. These individuals should be comfortable in their own skin. We welcome YSAs from all walks of life, from your everyday YSA to those with bold features and unique looks.

**YSA ON-CAMERA STORIES
Do you have an experience to share where you went through (or are currently going through) something difficult, and have found respite turning to Christ? We’d love you to share your story with us! We are seeking real stories with real people discussing issues affecting YSAs. Nothing is off the table (divorce, depression, anxiety, self-harm, pornography addiction, etc.) In recording and sharing these stories we hope to spread the message that together with Christ ALL things are possible.

Submission Deadline: As Soon As Possible by Noon, Wednesday, May 29, 2024.

To Apply

1) Take 2 current photos of yourself: one headshot and one profile. A digital photo with your phone is fine! If you’re hoping to be considered solely for the photography portion of this project, you can skip to Step 4 and complete the application! Otherwise, continue to Step 2.

2) For those submitting real-life experience for consideration, please record a quick video of yourself in good lighting, facing the camera. Begin by introducing yourself: full name, where you live, etc. Then share a brief version of your story. Try to keep the video under 3 minutes total.

3) Upload your video to an online video-sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and copy the “share” URL address. IMPORTANT: Set the privacy settings to “Unlisted” (not “Private”) so we’ll be able to view it without a password.

4) When ready, please visit this website (or click the Apply button) to upload your media.

Thank you for your continued support of media for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Please apply as soon as possible!
