DIHP will be accepting a total of ten (10) Freelance Photographers each week for its 2025/2026 season. A maximum of eight (8) of the ten passes will be season passes. If all eight season passes are issued, then only two weekly passes will be allowed each week. Applications for full-season passes are due August 31, 2025, and photographers will be notified regarding their acceptance by September 15, 2025. The first eight applications will be accepted for full-season passes, and weekly passes will also be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

A weekly pass is $850 per photographer and is limited to one photographer. The all-new Desert Spring Break 1 & 2 show weeks will be offered at an inaugural-year discount of $425 per photographer per week. A 14-week season pass is $11,900 (or $10,200 if a photographer opts into the DIHP Content Collaboration Program*). Season-pass holders will be permitted to bring a second shooter.
