Teachers – Don’t Miss This Amazing Opportunity!
Get your students excited about writing and illustrating with the Children’s Book Challenge — and they might even become published authors! The winning student team will receive a $50 cash prize, NEC merchandise, and special recognition.
This cross-curricular project is a fun and meaningful way to connect classroom learning with real-world topics. It ties directly into Art, ELA, Science, Technology, and Social Studies, and supports many South Carolina state standards.
Who can enter?
Fourth- and fifth-grade students across South Carolina are invited to write and illustrate a children’s book about our state’s electric cooperatives.
Winning entries will receive cash prizes and the chance to have their book published!
