In celebration of Black History Month, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp are asking students what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech means to them.
The essay contest will reward the winning students with free tickets for their entire class to attend the Jumbo Shrimp’s Jackie Robinson Day game on Monday, April 15, at 7:05 p.m., as well as a classroom visit by one of the Jumbo Shrimp mascots, Scampi or Southpaw.
The Jumbo Shrimp’s essay contest is open to all K-12 students in Duval County, Clay County and St. Johns County. Submissions will be divided into three categories (Grades K-5, 6-8 and 9-12, respectively). All entries should be submitted by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28 to win@jaxshrimp.com, and must include the student’s name, age, grade and school.
Following the submission process, each category will have their respective winners notified by email and announced on Friday, March 1.
