Home / ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest – Helicopters/Drones in the Military ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest – Helicopters/Drones in the Military In a year when we had to change so much, some things didn’t change at all. It turns out that ROTOR readers still like photos of helicopters, and so we ran the ninth annual ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest. All but one of our winning photos captured the drama that is part of aviation. You’ll see lives on the line, both literally and figuratively, and a gleaming aircraft set against a background of fire. You’ll also see one photographer’s memorable end to a perfect day. These striking shots reflecting both the work that we do and why we do that work have been selected as winners of HAI’s ninth annual ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest. The grand prize winner and five category winners will be showcased in the March 2021 issue of ROTOR. The 10th annual ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest will open on Aug. 2, 2021. Plan to submit your winning shots! Carsten Vennemann Stuttgart, Germany The winning photo in the Helicopter/Drones in the Military category shows two US Marine Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallions taking off after delivering a contingent of British Royal Marines to a landing zone during the 2016 Exercise Cold Response in Norway. The military exercises bring together NATO troops to train for harsh-weather operations. In Carsten Vennemann’s winning photo, the activity of the swirling snow and departing aircraft frames the troops who will remain behind.
