The contest was held for the seventh consecutive year and this time it became one of the most popular during its existence: it was attended by 220 pupils from schools of the region who presented 273 drawings in two competitive categories (Grades 1-4 and Grades 5-8). The authors of the greatest number of them were schoolchildren from Buturlinovsky, Verkhnekhavsky, Nizhnedevitsky, Pavlovsk, and Ertilsky districts.

The second place went to Artem Chernyshev, a disciple of the 1st class of secondary school "Uglyanskaya Secondary School "(Verkhnekhavsky district) with the drawing "Uncle Current ", the third to a second-form girl of secondary school "Buturlinovsky Secondary School "Alina Lyashenko "Do not play with electricity!".

In the category "Grades 5-8" a sixth grader Tatiana Sharapova out of high school №18 of Voronezh excelled with her drawing "Do not touch the bare wire!". Tatiana creatively approached the theme on electrical safety, presenting for the contest a 3D drawing. The second place, by the decision of the jury, was shared by Yulia Zatsepina of secondary school "Nizhnevedugskaya Secondary School" (Semiluksky district) with a series of works "Electricity - not a toy!" and Irina Getmanova of secondary school "Poltavskaya Secondary School" (Bogucharsky district) for the drawing "Charger, left in the outlet, can be short circuit!". The third place went to Katerina Nasoil of secondary school "Sokolovskaya Secondary School "(Ertilsky district) with the work "Electricity - not a toy!".
