Linemen in the Spotlight: 2020 Photo Contest

Jan. 17, 2020
T&D World's Lineman Life subscribers sent in their photos of linemen at work. Vote for your favorite image in our 2020 online survey.

T&D World's Linemen Life enewsletter celebrates the line trade twice a month with stories and photo galleries about linemen. To showcase our subscribers' hard work and dedication to the industry, we invited linemen to submit their favorite photos of themselves and their crew members on the job. 

This photo gallery includes images of linemen working in extreme conditions--from storms to late at night. It also demonstrates the power of teamwork as well as the unbreakable bond of the linemen in the trade. 

(Note: Voting has been closed; Thank you!) Help us select the top winner of the 2020 Lineman Life photography contest by voting in our online poll. The contest winner will receive a new pair of Hi-Line Utility Supply's Xtreme Glove Protectors, which won the 2019 T&D World Top Tools of the Trade competition. 

We look forward to hearing from you.
