Kids Safety Poster Contest

NPEC announces safety poster contest winners

Northern Plains Electric Cooperative hosted their third annual safety poster contest asking for members’ children to depict “how to stay safe around electricity.”

The contest was open to Kindergarten through sixth grade students. The purpose of the contest is to help bring awareness to the dangers of electricity. At Northern Plains, safety always comes first, and we are dedicated to doing our part to help children learn how to be safe around electricity.

Over 30 children entered their drawings, with a wide variety of scenes showing safety precautions taken at their home or on the farm. The posters were voted on by all 42 employees at Northern Plains. First through third place winners in each category received a cash prize.

We hope the contest made children more aware of their responsibility in practicing safety around electricity.

Thank you to all participates and congratulations to the winners!
