Perry Hall Christian School Competes for $10,000 in Video Contest

Perry Hall Christian is one of 20 schools competing for $10,000 in a contest sponsored by BGE.

In BGE’s “Wires Down Video Challenge,” students from area schools create a 30- to 45-second commercial about electrical safety using the utility company’s “Wires Down” spot as a template; BGE ran that commercial in 2000 as a way of reminding children to steer clear of fallen wires.

The video challenge is now in its third year, and Perry Hall Christian School’s entry is a 30-second spot in contention for the $10,000 prize BGE is offering to fund an enrichment project.

If Perry Hall Christian School wins, money will reportedly fund rubber mulch for its playground.

This isn’t the first time a school from Perry Hall has gotten into the running in the ”Wires Down” contest. In the competition’s inaugural year, Vincent Farm Elementary School in White Marsh won $10,000 for its winning submission, Perry Hall Patch previously reported.

At the time, Baltimore County Public School officials said the program helped promote teamwork, school spirit and education about electrical safety.

People can vote up to three times a day for their favorite videos in the “Wires Down Video Challenge.”
