Women's Basketball Coaches Association.

The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and Minute Maid/Coca-Cola are proud to jointly sponsor "The Art of Women's Basketball" art print competition. This program was established to enable middle school and high school students to share in the excitement of the NCAA Women's Final Four via a meaningful, creative, and interactive experience. The WBCA and Minute Maid/Coca-Cola are striving to share and to promote the value of women's basketball among young women and their teams, coaches, and families. Basketball provides one avenue for building self-esteem among young girls and promotes a healthy, active lifestyle for girls and women.

This year's contest will take place in Mississippi and Louisiana--the host state of the NCAA Women's Final Four and the 23rd WBCA National Convention. Students are asked to create a design or drawing that signifies the "gracefulness, strength, passion, and competitiveness" of women's basketball; while incorporating the elements of Minute Maid's commitment to helping young women lead a "healthy, active lifestyle." Students are to submit their original designs and drawings to the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) by Friday, February 20, 2004. Once all entries have been received, a specially formed committee will judge the submitted artwork for their originality and creativity; appropriateness to the theme; and overall composition and design. NOCCA and the WBCA will select one First Prize winner from the following four categories: Grades Kindergarten-3; Grades 4-6; Grades 7-9; and Grades 10-12. From this pool, one Grand Prize winner will be selected to receive a $2,000 check and his/her winning artwork with be made into a poster. Each of the First Prize winners will receive a $500 check and the 12 Consolation Prize winners will each receive a $100 check. The 16 finalist's schools will receive a $100 gift certificate to be used for art supplies. Their artwork will be displayed at Art Alley inside Hoop City in the Superdome April 3-6, 2004. The excitement of the Art of Women's Basketball continues at the "WBCA Night of All-Stars", April 3, 2004 at Tulane University's Fogelman Arena, where the finalists of the art competition will be introduced and honored on court.

The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Internship Program was renamed the Betty F. Jaynes Internship Program in honor of retired WBCA Chief Executive Officer, Betty F. Jaynes for all of the work that she has done to create opportunities in the field of women's sports, specifically women's basketball.

Betty "Jumpshot" Jaynes has dedicated her life to women's basketball and for over 25 years, has been a leading figure in the sport of women's basketball. Jaynes served as the Executive Director of the WBCA for 15 years and on September 1, 1996 was named Chief Executive Officer until her retirement in 2000. Jaynes now works as a consultant to the WBCA.

The Betty F. Jaynes Internship Program provides six qualified individuals an opportunity to gain both professional and personal experiences in the world of women's sports. Internship positions average five months in length and run from December to May. All interns participate in the annual WBCA National Convention, held annually in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women's Final Four.

The Betty F. Jaynes Internship Program would not be possible without the generous support of its contributors. Many thanks to all of the contributors to the Betty F. Jaynes Internship Program and we hope for your continued support of this outstanding opportunity for young people.
