Our 2022 Electrical Safety Poster Contest was held for local third graders in May.
You can see winners here!
Calling all third graders: Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative and the Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association are seeking entries for the 2022 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.

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.
