Applications are now open for the Nice Piece Scholarship, continuing Alex Pashley's legacy of mentorship and career support that created opportunity for countless others. Intended for someone already documenting snowboarding and/or skiing who’s ready to take the next step in their career, the Nice Piece scholarship will provide funding toward equipment and travel for an up-and-coming photographer or videographer, as well as an invite to Low Maintenance at Baldface Lodge, BC to shoot alongside a mentor.
Alex built his life around snowboarding and the mountains, and selection will prioritize originality, commitment to the craft, and a clear dedication to the culture of snowsports. Applications will be judged by Alex’s wife, Erin Pashley, alongside a small group of Alex’s close friends.
Donations will be facilitated by CORE, a nonprofit founded by professional snowboarder Erik Leon working to expand access to the outdoors.
Application window: March 17 – March 27
