- Jake Jacob, 2009 Energy Bowl Winner from Flowery Branch High School
Each year, Jackson EMC holds the Energy Bowl, a quiz bowl designed to promote math and science skills among high school students.
Jackson EMC started the Energy Bowl in 1993 to select one of our two delegates to the Washington D.C. Youth Tour, an event that provides over 1,500 students from across the United States with the experience of a lifetime. The Energy Bowl is held each fall at the Jefferson District of Jackson EMC.
Along with an all-expense paid trip to our nation's capital, the winning student receives a $2,000 scholarship to the college, university or technical school of his or her choice. The winning student's high school benefits as well, with a $1,000 educational grant to be used in a way the student and school select.

Congratulations to this year's winner and finalists and thank you to all participants who entered this year.
Participants must be 11th grade students with a desire to learn more about electricity, energy, math, science and the environment. Along with the official application, the participating students must have at least one recommendation letter from a school official or community leader.
Even though many students from a high school may apply, only one participant from each school is selected. This assures equal representation among schools. If more than one student applies from a school, selection is based on GPA, leadership and community involvement.
The 2009 entry deadline has passed. For more information, please contact Kay Parks at kparks@jacksonemc.com.
