THE 2008 ARTHUR ASHE ESSAY & ART CONTEST
Download Flyer & Registration Form
Arthur Ashe was an American hero fighting battles both on and off the court. In his life, he broke barriers in the tennis world, becoming a three time grand slam champion, and the first African American male to win a grand slam tournament. Off the court, he was a social activist taking on issues like racial prejudice, AIDS, apartheid,
and youth education. One of his many legacies includes the National Junior Tennis League (“NJTL”), a network of youth serving organizations that provides tennis and education for all. His wish was for NJTL to be a resource for kids to develop skills for leadership and academic excellence.
This year the Arthur Ashe Essay and Art Contest is aimed at getting youth to learn about Arthur Ashe’s accomplishments and offering them a chance for introspection by answering the following question: “How do you exemplify the ideals of Arthur Ashe?”
PRIZES: Ten national essay winners (one boy and one girl from one of five age categories: 10 and younger; 11 and 12 year olds; 13 and 14 year olds; 15 and 16 year olds; and 17 and 18 year olds) will each receive an all-expense paid trip to New York for winner and his/her parent/legal guardian. Trip includes attendance at Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day presented by Hess, a professional sporting event and a
Broadway show. Each winner also will receive an award at a luncheon in their honor. Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day is a day-long festival of kids’ tennis activities that includes interactive games, musical entertainment and free clinics. Eight national
art winners (12 and younger) will receive a plaque in their honor.
DEADLINE: Each contestant must mail in or handdeliver
his/her essay or artwork along with a completed
