Calling all third graders:

Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative and the Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association are seeking entries for the 2023 Electrical Safety Poster Contest. All local children in third grade are invited to submit an original poster that supports electrical safety.

“As your local provider of safe, reliable electricity, Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative is sponsoring a youth poster contest to promote electrical safety in recognition of National Electrical Safety Month in May,” said Joan O’Fallon, Polk-Burnett’s communications director. “We remind everyone to be safe around electricity and electrical equipment at home and school.” Learn more about electrical safety. 

Win prizes!

All who enter will have a chance to win local and state-level prizes.

Three local winners will each receive a $25 gift card from WECA and Polk-Burnett.

The top three local posters will be submitted to the state contest, for a chance to win state-level prizes. The top three prizes in the state contest are a Chromebook for first place, a $100 gift card for second place and a $75 gift card for third place. Winning posters will be shared by the co-ops to help educate all kids about the electrical safety.
