Eighth Annual Sportsmanship Essay Contest

Re: Eighth Annual Sportsmanship Essay Contest


As an important leader in interscholastic athletics, we would like to request your support and assistance by promoting a valuable MIAA Student Services initiative among the student-athletes on your team(s). The Eighth Annual MIAA Sportsmanship Essay/Multimedia Contest is currently being conducted for students in grades 9 through 12. We would like to hear from the thousands of student-athletes across the state and invite them to share their ideas on this year's theme:

"The Role of the Fan in Promoting Sportsmanship”

Your help in eliciting participation by distributing this contest flyer (

The top three entries, as selected by the MIAA Sportsmanship Committee, will be awarded prizes of $500, $300 and $200 respectively. These contest winners will also be honored at Gillette Stadium on November 21 as part of the 15th Annual MIAA Sportsmanship Summit. In addition, an anthology of finalist and honorable mention entries will be published in Volume VIII of "Sportsmanship: A Game Plan for Life."

All entries for this contest must be received by Friday, October 17 at the following address:
