Nominate a local volunteer by June 30!

Our annual Shine the Light contest is an opportunity for the member-consumers and employees of Iowa's locally owned electric cooperatives to celebrate friends and neighbors who are making a positive difference in their communities.

We are now accepting 2026 contest entries through June 30.

You'll need to provide some basic contact information for you and the person you're nominating and be prepared to answer this question in 500 words or less: How has your nominee made a difference in your community and how might their local charity/nonprofit use the $3,000 donation?

Please review the contest rules beforehand.
