A first, second, and third place winner will be named from each of the seven high schools in our service area. We are happy to say that this year our Washington D.C. Youth Tour Trip is back in full swing. All 7 of our WYT Writing Contest 1st place winners will be eligible for an all-expense paid trip to our nation's Capitol as a participant in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's Washington Youth Tour June 16- 20, 2023. 

The 2nd place winners will receive a $250 cash prize, and 3rd place winners will receive a $100 cash prize from each school.

One story will be selected from the seven first-place stories to be entered in the state-wide contest. The awards at the state level are college scholarships - $3,000 for 1st, $2,000 for 2nd and $1,000 for 3rd. Delegates who stay engaged and active with their local co-op in the year following the Youth Tour have a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship to the college or trade school of their choice.

The Washington Youth Tour was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I could not be more thankful for my cooperative and the lifelong friends I made on the trip.
