Home / ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest – Helping Hands and Helicopters During COVID-19 ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest – Helping Hands and Helicopters During COVID-19 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! Sylwia Tylkowska Zawiercie, Poland For this new category, Helping Hands and Helicopters During COVID-19, we wanted to document how the COVID-19 pandemic was affecting those in the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) industry, including our many frontline workers. Aviation photographer Sylwia Tylkowska captured this dramatic shot of a patient transfer in Zawiercie, Poland, in April 2020—back when terms like “PPE” and “social distance” were just becoming part of our everyday vocabulary.
