EEA PHOTO COMPETITION 2021
Background
As you may recall, last year we held our first EEA photo competition. Primarily we ran this competition to help build up a bank of industry-related images to use in our communications and website refresh. But we also wanted to have a bit of fun during what was a difficult year for many.
Well, it turned out to be very successful, and we received many amazing images which you all voted on. The winner - Bill Alhambra of Wellington Electricity, attended our EEA2021 Conference with his winning pass.
We would like to keep building up our bank of industry-related images, and we are excited to announce that entries are now open for this year's EEA photo competition. We hope you have all been diligently capturing really cool images that highlight our industry over the past 12 months that you are willing to share.
