Radio imaging firm Benztown has announced that CIDC-FM (Z1035)/Toronto and CHWE-FM (Energy 106)/Winnipeg Imaging Producer Sean Galbraith (far left) has been chosen as finalist in the fourth annual Iron Imager Contest, an international radio imaging contest where production pros compete for cash and other prizes and the title of World's Best Imager.

Galbraith will face off against Iron Imager 2013 and 2014 titleholder, Dan Kelly, Creative Services Director at WPLJ-FM & NASH-FM/New York, in a head-to-head live competition on April 23 at the Roosevelt Hotel Hollywood. Galbraith and Kelly will demonstrate their imaging skills by producing an original imaging piece for a format unannounced until the day of the competition.

Contestants will use elements from one of Benztown's 20 production libraries and an original script created by the Benztown team. The 2015 Iron Imager will be declared and presented at the Westwood One Awards Luncheon at 1pm on Friday, April 24.

Benztown President Dave "Chachi" Denes said, "With two of the world's most talented imaging professionals competing as finalists, Iron Imager Contest 2015 will be an international throw-down like none before. We are pleased to provide the arena for these two exceptionally gifted imagers to compete for the title of World's Best Imager for 2015."

Galbraith added, "It's the battle of the borders.... Canada vs. the U.S.A.... Dan Kelly, are you ready to hand over that belt to where it belongs?.?. EH?.?. I feel honoured and extremely excited for this opportunity that Benztown and the voters have given me. I love the forward thinking of this contest, where Benztown Branding is shining a light on what we do in the imaging world. I can't wait to come down to L.A. and represent the Evanov Radio Group."

Kelly said, "Well, well... Since I'm an American hockey fan going up against a Canadian, I'll say this, eh: I'm gonna smash him into the boards, eh. Legally, of course. I'll do my best to dangle and deke through his defense and score the sickest of goals. Well... audio goals. On ProTools. Y'know. Seriously, though, it'll be a lot of fun and I'm really pumped for a chance to do this a third time."
