Brewers launch Jackie Robinson Art Challenge
MILWAUKEE – Young Brewers fans, it’s time to grab your crayons, markers, and art supplies and get those creative juices flowing. The Milwaukee Brewers today, in partnership with Everfi, launched the Jackie Robinson Art Challenge, encouraging Wisconsin fans under 18 years old to create an original artistic expression that captures the spirit of one or more of Jackie Robinson’s values – as identified by his daughter Sharon’s book, “Jackie Robinson’s Values to Live By: Becoming Your Best Self” – citizenship, commitment, courage, determination, excellence, integrity, justice, persistence and teamwork.
The top three artists and their families will be invited to American Family Field for a future game and be recognized on-field, with their artwork displayed on the Brewers scoreboard. The Grand Prize winner will throw out the ceremonial first pitch with their art piece displayed on the Summer Slugger Brewers Challenge web page.
Beginning today, fans can complete the digital entry form, one entry per person, available at Summerslugger.com/brewerschallenge. Kids are encouraged to get creative, take inspiration from Jackie Robinson and create an original piece of art. The art can be designed in any shape or form with no limitations to size or color and may include painting, drawing, or rendering.
The winning entries will be eligible for the following prizes:
- Grand Prize: Four Field Level game tickets, on-field recognition, throw out the ceremonial first pitch and a gift bag filled with Brewers memorabilia
- 2nd Place: Four Club Level game tickets, on-field recognition and a gift bag filled with Brewers memorabilia
- 3rd Place: Four Club Level game tickets, on-field recognition and a gift bag filled with Brewers memorabilia
