Winning is just a “Click” away!  
Use your Computer Mouse to win a trip to Washington D.C.

Again this year, Western Illinois Electrical Coop. will award one son or daughter of a WIEC member an all-expense paid trip to our nation’s capital!  High school sophomores, juniors or seniors are encouraged to enter this contest by completing a web quiz that consists of multiple-choice, short answer and short essay questions.  It has never been easier to win a trip to Washington D.C.    

The WIEC winner will join about 50 other Illinois high school students who descend on Washington during the week of June 15-22, 2012.   During the time in D.C., students will learn about American and rural electric history, as well as state and federal government. Last year, they visited representatives in the House and Senate, and took in an impressive list of historic sites, such as Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, the World War II Memorial, the U.S. Memorial Holocaust Museum, and even saw a play at the National Theater!   

As part of the contest, WIEC will award the top six entrants an all-expense trip to Springfield, IL as part, of the Youth Day in Springfield to visit the Illinois State Capitol on March 28, 2012 and see state government in action.  One of those six students will be awarded the trip to Washington, D.C.

Application packets are available at the WIEC office, at your high school’s guidance counselor’s office or here.  Applications are due back to the WIEC office by February 17, 2012.

For more information contact the WIEC office.
