Wake Electric's "Give Us An A" contest rewards academic achievement.
Three times during the academic year, the cooperative draws 40 winners from among entries in the contest.
The first drawing in 2010 was held January 20. The second on July 20. The next drawing will be on October 20.
NOTE: Because each school district may have a different time for issuing report cards, if a student's entry misses one deadline, the entry will automatically be included in the next drawing.
To qualify, each applicant must submit a copy of a report card with at least one “A” earned during the grading period.
To enter, students should include:
- A copy of his or her most recent report card
- Parents' /guardians' names (if applicable)
- Home mailing address
- Email address that is checked regularly (this is the method used primarily for communication)
- School attending
- Telephone Number
