Voters Pick Favorites in 17th IBEW Photo Contest

February 13, 2015

High above the earth, linemen carefully replace high-voltage structure that was battered by Washington’s winter. By framing the scene with towering evergreens and a mountainous backdrop, Seattle Local 77 member Derek Williams turned this moment into the most popular shot of the 17th IBEW Photo Contest.


Iconic images of linemen on the job scored big in this year’s contest, which drew more than 4,000 votes overall from members and the general public.

About 300 submissions from members across the U.S. and Canada were narrowed to a field of 15 finalists last month. Voters selected their top three favorites via online ballots between Jan. 26 – Feb. 9.

See the winning images below, and look for more coverage in the April issue of The Electrical Worker.

First Place Winner ($200)

Derek Williams, Seattle Local 77
