Apply today to join our volunteer photographer team to capture USWNC and the Hot Air Jubilee 📸

📸 VOLUNTEER PHOTOGRAPHERS WANTED! (NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!) 📸

We're looking for passionate individuals to help us capture the magic of the upcoming Hot Air Jubilee (HAJ) and the BFA US Women's Nationals! New for 2026, we are offering an exclusive opportunity for photographers of ALL skill levels—from seasoned professionals to enthusiastic hobbyists looking to build their portfolio—to join our team.

Here is what you need to know about this unique exchange:

🎟️ EXCLUSIVE ACCESS: In exchange for your time and talent, selected photographers will receive a "behind-the-scenes" access pass for two people to the entire event!

🎈 CLOSER TO THE ACTION: This pass includes special access to the launch field and target locations, giving you a vantage point far closer to the balloons and action than the general public.

🚫 UNPAID VOLUNTEER: Please note that this is a non-financial compensation opportunity. Your "payment" is strictly provided via this unprecedented access, allowing you to capture unique, professional-grade shots for your own portfolio (beyond the required deliverables).

⚠️ 👇 PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING: 👇
Full requirements, safety rules, and deliverable expectations are detailed at the link. Please read carefully and apply today at the link!

Help us bring the 2027 Women's World Championships to Jackson!

✨ Why Jackson? Hear it from the pilots themselves.

“Jackson’s focus on women pilots has created something truly special—a space where women are genuinely celebrated, supported, and inspired.”
— Dawn McKenzie, 3-time U.S. Women’s National Championship competitor

From impeccably run competitions to welcoming landowners, beautiful flying terrain, and unmatched camaraderie, Jackson offers more than a venue—it offers a community.

We’re ready to bring the FAI Women’s Hot Air Balloon World Championships to a place that already champions women in flight.

Did you check out the aurora borealis tonight? I did my best with cranked settings and no tripod - and wow - what a stunner!!! Tonight was my first time being able to see the lights with the naked eye and not just through a phone or camera. Now to be more prepared for next time with a remote and a tripod! 🤣

Friday night at the Hot Air Jubilee was so much fun! Enjoy these scenes from around the festivities, and from the evening launch (glow photos still to come!)

I tried to capture a little bit of ALL of the magic - the new education tent, the Meijer Family Fun Zone, the JEEPS!, the delicious eats, and the beautiful balloons, obvi. And I also tried to capture some of YOU - the people who show up, who are the reason the board works so hard planning for a full year, year after year, the reason the pilots dream of good weather so they can put on a good show, and the reason our sponsors return year after year to make this festival possible.

A round of applause for an AMAZING night in Jackson!
