8th ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST

WE WANT YOU!

Your Work, Your Face On Your Journal

June 2003 IBEW Journal

Yes, it's that time again.  And do you think you have what it takes?

Contest entries have demonstrated photographic talent, and their subjects serve to display the wide variety of work IBEW members perform.  From the top of the Golden Gate Bridge to depths of underground substations, your photos attach a face and an image to every aspect of the Brotherhood.

Whether your photo is old or new doesn't matter.  Complete the form at the bottom of this page, attach it to your entry and send it in.

The first place winner will appear on the December cover of the Journal.  Other winners will appear in the same issue.

Please study the contest rules carefully, as they have changed somewhat from last year.

Though the saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words, it could also be worth an award in recognition of your talent.

Please not deadline for submitting entries.

So start snapping!

Rules

1. The photo contest is open to active or retired IBEW members only.  The person submitting the photograph must be the one who took the photograph.
    
2. International Officers and staff are not eligible.
    
3. Submissions can be in color or black and white, on slides, 300 dpi tiff file, or glossy prints.  The preferred print size is 8 X 10.
    
4. All submissions become the property of the IBEW Journal and Media Relations Department.
    
5. Photos must have an IBEW theme of some sort, with IBEW members at work, engaged in a union related activity, or still subjects conveying images of the electrical industry or the union.
    
6. If members are featured in the photo, they should be identified.  If large groups are pictured, the name of the group or purpose of the gathering (e.g., a safety committee, a lineman's rodeo, a union meeting) can be submitted in place of individual names.
    
7. Photos previously published in the IBEW Journal are not eligible for submission.
