Each year Tri-County Electric partners with our statewide organizations in Tennessee and Kentucky to sponsor the Electric Cooperative Writing Contest. Four winning students from our service area will explore our nation’s capital during a six day, all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. Winners also qualify for thousands of dollars in scholarships.
High school juniors are asked to submit a short story not exceeding 900 words of a specific title each year. This year’s story title was Electric Cooperatives Connect. The short stories are judged on appropriate treatment of theme and knowledge of subject, originality and creativity, and grammar and composition.
Tri-County Electric had winners from six area high schools. Students will be accompanied by Lindsay Wilkinson, Marketing Assistant. All of the first-place winners received $100 and the second-place winners received $50.
