Three area high school juniors will win all-expense paid trips to Washington, D.C., this summer as part of Farmers’ Electric’s Youth Tour to Washington Essay Contest. Three area high school juniors will also win all-expense paid trips to the Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience (C.Y.C.L.E.) this July in Jefferson City.

This marks the 43rd consecutive year that FEC has sponsored this academic competition. 
The essay contest is open to all high school juniors attending a high school that is located within the service area of FEC. The contest is also open to a high school junior who resides in a home on FEC’s system and attends a high school outside the cooperative’s service territory where the essay contest is not offered at that high school.

The contest is not open to a student who attends a high school in FEC’s service territory, but resides on another cooperative’s lines that also conducts the essay contest to Washington, D.C. Children of cooperative employees and directors are not eligible to participate in the contest.

Junior class English instructors will receive the essay contest information and applications in early January. Applications may also be picked up at the cooperative office in Chillicothe or by calling the office and we will mail the application directly to your home, or download the application here.

This year’s topic is “Which of the seven cooperative principles do you think is the most important. Why?” A list of supplementary materials is also provided for the contest. The essay contest deadline is Friday, February 24, 2006, at 4:30 p.m.
