WHAT TO ENTER:

We are looking for images that showcase the PT6A engine, at work, at play, in an aircraft, or being serviced.
All photographs should accurately reflect the subject matter and the scene as it appeared. Photos that have been digitally altered beyond standard optimization (removal of dust, cropping, reasonable adjustments to exposure, color and contrast, etc.) will be disqualified. Multiple exposures that have been combined to produce a single “High Dynamic Range” image are acceptable. Images that do not meet these requirements may or may not be judged at the judging panel’s sole discretion.

HOW TO ENTER:

Each photo must be submitted electronically through this form.

All photos submitted must include the photographer’s name and contact information, location the image was taken, and the category in which to photo is to be judged.

ELIGIBILITY AND JUDGING:

Entries may originate in any format — including, but not limited to digital files, digital prints, color transparencies, color prints, or black and white prints — so long as they are submitted electronically. Previously published material for which non-exclusive rights were granted may be entered as long as you still maintain the right to grant us a license (see “Your Rights” below). You must be able to disclose when and where the photo appeared previously to Turbines Inc. upon request.

Images will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit. Images will be judged in the following categories:

PT6A Engines in Agriculture
PT6A Engines in Business Aviation
PT6A Engines at Work (Forestry, Fire Service, Oil & Gas, Other Industries)
PT6A Engines on Vintage Aircraft
Beautiful Engines (on or off the aircraft, being serviced, etc.)

The judges will consist of a panel of qualified individuals. Turbines Inc. shall determine winner eligibility at its sole and absolute discretion. All decisions made by the judges are final. Turbines Inc. may request that winning photographs be submitted to Turbines Inc. in their original resolution via email.
