The utility’s annual Student Poster Contest for Shelby County school children in grades K-12 focuses on Internet safety, a particularly important subject with many students learning remotely from home during this pandemic. The deadline for entries is November 20 at 4 p.m.

Art entries will be judged on their ability to clearly and creatively communicate the theme, “Internet Safety: The Power Bytes – Making the Internet Safe One Byte at a Time.” Artwork created on computer is eligible this year along with traditional art on paper or other mediums.
