Winning posters for EWEB’s Public Power Week Poster Contest
October 17, 2022
EWEB held its Poster Contest for 5th grade students in our service territory for Public Power Week, October 2-8, receiving more than 100 entries from classrooms across the area.
Public Power week celebrates the value of publicly owned utilities such as EWEB. EWEB is customer-owned and accountable to the people we serve. Unlike other utilities, your electric and water rates directly fund the energy and water we reliably deliver to you – and never enrich corporate shareholders.
The theme of this year’s contest was “Brought to you by Electricity”. Staff narrowed down the entries to twenty. EWEB employees and our social media followers voted on the winners.
This week, EWEB commissioner Matt McRae presented 1st place winner Aiden Muller with a plaque and gift certificate during an assembly at O'Hara Catholic School in Eugene.

First Place: Aiden Muller, O’Hara Catholic Elementary School

Second Place: Caroline Callister, Coburg Community Charter School

Third Place: Emma Mansfield, McCornack Elementary

Fourth Place: Bodhi Bayes, Adams Elementary

Fifth Place: Tommy Adams, River Road/ El Camino Del Rio Elementary
Thank you to all the students who participated in the contest! You brought creativity and enthusiasm to the theme of electricity, and we are so grateful!
