Home / ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest – People and Their Helicopters/Drones ROTOR Magazine Photo Contest – People and Their Helicopters/Drones 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! Marilyn Grubb Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada On the way home from a helicopter ride in the Canadian Rockies to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, their pilot landed on a dry riverbed so Marilyn Grubb and her husband could share a champagne toast. But Marilyn took away more than just memories from that special day. An avid photographer, she says, “When I saw the reflection of the helicopter, a Robinson R44, and my husband in the water, I captured it!” Her spur-of-the-moment photo of her husband took top honors in our People and Their Helicopters/Drones category. Lucky him, lucky her, lucky us.
