2025-2026 Rep Team applications are LIVE!

I cannot believe it, but it's finally time! While we still have a lot more fun things planned for our current Rep Team, it is time to start looking for member of our next one. But first, let's talk details.

So, what is a rep? Basically, you are the face of 1492 for the year. We do multiple styled shoots, you get to meet new friends through the team that you may not have otherwise had a chance to meet, and you get tons of new photos to share throughout the school year! Who wouldn't love that?!

Since I started sharing about the upcoming application release, I've received several questions so I wanted to answer them real quick.

"How much time does this take? My child is super busy with sports."

It truly doesn't take any time at all. None of the shoots are mandatory and you can do as many or as few as you have time for.

"Is it only for Columbus North or Columbus East students?"

Nope! We would LOVE to have Reps in all of the area schools. Basically, if you are up for coming into Columbus for the styled shoots then we'd love to have you!

"Are the Rep Teams only for girls?"

Not at all! This year we would love to add some guys to the team! A few years ago we had only guys on the team! That was the year we did the styled shoot from the movie "The Sandlot" which is still, to this day, my absolute favorite session ever! If you want to see it, CLICK HERE) I would LOVE to have enough guys again this upcoming year to do another epic shoot like that but I can't tell you the movie just yet. I have to keep a few secrets!

"Is it just for seniors?" This year we are actually going to have a few spots for Juniors as well. That means that if you are a current Sophomore you can apply to the Junior Rep Team as well!

So, how do you apply? Simple! Click this link and fill out the form. All of the details about next steps can also be found there.

I can't wait to see who all applies and I look forward to working with all of the new member of the 1492 Rep Team!

Happy weekend, friends!
