Pedernales Electric Coop - Youth Tour - Essay Contest

For the 32nd year, Pedernales Electric is joining other electric cooperatives across the country to participate in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Youth Tour program. For PEC's 2014 Youth Tour Contest and in honor of our 75th anniversary, we are asking area high school students to write essays from the perspective of someone 75 years ago, when electricity first illuminated the rural Hill Country.


Ten semifinalists will be chosen to interview with three independent judges who will select the final six winners of an expense-paid June 2014 trip to Washington, D.C., to tour historical sites and meet local political representatives.

Every student who enters the 2014 Youth Tour Contest will be eligible to win an iPad mini! Please read our contest guidelines before submitting your essay and application online. The deadline to enter is Wednesday, Oct. 23.
