Grand Valley Power, in partnership with Touchstone Energy Cooperatives, is pleased to announce the third annual #WhoPowersYou Contest, honoring local heroes. It’s a chance for Grand Valley Power members and employees to nominate someone who’s making a difference in our community, and an opportunity to celebrate the power of human connections. In addition to being nationally recognized, nominees can win up to $5,000 for the cause they champion. To nominate a local hero, members and employees can go to whopowersyou.com and submit their nominee’s name, photo and a brief description of how they make a difference in our community. Nominations open on Oct. 1 and must be submitted by midnight on Nov. 4.In order to nominate someone for the contest, you must reside or be a member of a home that receives electricity from Grand Valley Power, however, the nominee you enter does not.
Winners will be announced in December. An independent panel of judges will select winners based upon the positive impact they make on the community, creativity of the entry and the number of votes they receive.
