The competition was open to all residents of Texas who were 18 years old and younger; and also active in their local NJTL chapter. This year, students were asked to “Create a work of art depicting what tennis has taught you about life.” Each of the six winners will receive a plaque with the grand prize winner being selected from the winners pool.

The NJTL Art Contest is an opportunity for participants to express their love for tennis and their growth through the NJTL program in an artistic way. This contest also helps participants prepare for the upcoming USTA Foundation Essay Contest where players use their experiences in tennis to tell a story. The NJTL program was established in 1969, with the mission to develop the character of young people through participation in tennis.
