The Town of Dillon is accepting proposals from professional photographers to capture still images and/or video during concerts at the Dillon Amphitheater, edit the images and provide all assets with full usage rights to the Town of Dillon.

Proposals must be submitted by Friday, March 6 at 5 p.m. for consideration.

The Dillon Amphitheater sits on the shores of Dillon Reservoir with residential on the street side. The Dillon Amphitheater was renovated in  and has a capacity of 3,656. The Town produces a variety of programming including community performances produced in-house to partnering with third-party promoters. Performers range from local acts to nationally-known acts and Grammy-award winners. The season typically runs mid-June to mid-September with approximately 30-40 shows.

Operational funding for the amphitheater concerts comes from concession revenues, facility rental fees, ticketing fees and sales tax. Capital projects are funded using sales tax.

Scope of Work

• Most concerts start between 5 and 7 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. Most bands allow the house photographer access to the pit for the first three songs, so photographer must be available at the beginning of each opening and headlining act. Photographer is then usually given permission to take photos from other areas of the venue for the remainder of the performance.
  
  Stage access is rarely granted to the photographer.
• Photographer must use their own photography equipment, personal computer and editing software. Town of Dillon will provide a Dropbox account for uploading and archiving photos.
• Photographer shall capture a variety of creative images at each show, including images of the band and engaging shots of the overall atmosphere and experience (crowd, vendors, staff, volunteers, bar, ticketing, wide shots of amphitheater, lawn, etc.). A variety of horizontal and vertical shots shall be provided, as well as a mixture of close-up, standard and wide-angle shots.
• Photographer must turn photos around quickly. 3-5 photos are to be sent to the town by noon the day after the show. Remaining photos shall be culled, edited and uploaded to the Town’s Dropbox within 72 hours after the end of the show.
• Photographer will provide all images from the event in one Dropbox folder, and select up to 20 of the best photos from each event for a “Best of” folder. The Town will provide this Dropbox account and organization system.
• Photographer will provide the Town of Dillon copies of all Work Product (photographs, negatives, video footage, images, renderings, and other materials) and grant the Town a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use the Work Product for any lawful purpose, including commercial uses.
