"Olympus is excited about our association with ArtsQuest and the festival," said Jennifer Colucci, Manager of Public Relations, Social Media and Sponsorships for Olympus Imaging America Inc. "The Olympus InVision Photo Festival will connect with photographers of all levels. We enjoy the interaction and the opportunity to educate photographers and photography enthusiasts, alike.

As a photographer at The Star-Telegram in Fort Worth, Texas, Price won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for spot news photography for his coverage of the 1980 coup in Liberia. He won a second Pulitzer Prize for feature photography in 1985 as a photographer for The Philadelphia Inquirer for documenting civil wars in Angola and El Salvador. He has been honored by the Overseas Press Club, World Press Photo Awards, the Pan American Press Association, the National Press Photographers Association and the Society of News Design.
