Back in October, we announced our 2015 Photo Contest calling for images that would showcase Washington State’s diverse tech culture and the people who make it special. We received so many great submissions—from pictures of funky office spaces to, of course, adorable office pets—and we weren’t disappointed! Today, we’re pleased to announce this year’s contest winner!

Congratulations to the grand-prize winner, Ivy Softworks, the only company (that we know of, anyway) with a swing set!

“We’re honored to win the 2015 WTIA Member Photo Contest! The Swingerator is a popular spot to work through creative challenges and is a physical reminder of one of our core values, adaptability, which is to ‘strive for agility in thought and versatility in action,’” said Jordan Ritter, Founder and CEO at Ivy Softworks and Atlas Informatics.

Here’s the winning photo that Ivy Softworks sent in along with a few of our favorite runners up.

 

Beyond the contest, these photos will be featured in our printed and digital marketing materials; including our website, annual report, welcome kit, and brochures. And, our grand-prize winner Ivy Softworks will receive a free Member Video profile. Be on the lookout for that in 2016!

Thanks to everyone who submitted to this year’s contest. We are already looking forward to seeing next year’s submissions! Interested in submitting?
