It's no secret that a lineworker's job is tough—but it's a job that's essential and must be done, often in challenging conditions. Throughout April, we'll be celebrating lineworkers by highlighting the men and women who help keep the lights on in homes across America.

Using the form below, nominate a lineworker who's gone above and beyond the call of duty. Tell us about the lineworker and the impact they've had on your co-op and community (maximum 450 characters).

Submissions should include a photo of the lineworker, a short photo description, photo credit and a blurb about why you're nominating them.

The deadline for submission is 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, April 6, and we'll be publishing a compilation on cooperative.com and sharing on social media.
