Can you imagine a big, nasty Wes Malott portrait hanging in an art gallery?
The idea is not as far-fetched as you might think. The next generation of bowlers and sports fans is getting the connection between bowling, creativity and Mr. Versatility.
Roto Grip, in a creative burst of its own, is presenting Malott’s All-Stars Contest. The contest is open to any USBC Youth member 20 years of age and under that wants to display their creativity by drawing a picture of Malott and writing a one-page letter to Wes.
The Grand Prize winner gets a 3-day experience with Wes from Roto Grip. First, dinner with Malott for the winner and family. Malott will visit the winner’s school and offer a lesson after school. Then, the reigning PBA Player of the Year will make an all-day appearance at the winner’s USBC Youth League.
To top it off, the winner receives a complete package of Roto Grip products including balls, bags, apparel and accessories. Finally, Roto Grip will videotape and photograph the entire experience and give the winner a keepsake DVD.
Mail your drawing and letter to
Roto Grip by October 31 for the incredible prize package and a chance to be featured at rotogrip.com and an upcoming issue of US Youth Bowler.
In 1982, Earl Anthony was my favorite player as I grew up a junior bowler and fan of the PBA Tour. I can’t imagine how cool that would have been to have Earl over for dinner with mom, dad and my brother, then show up in Mr. McKay’s chemistry class and then make an appearance at Red Carpet Lanes to hang with my bowling buddies.
In 1982, artist LeRoy Nieman issued “
Million Dollar Strike”, an incredible tribute to the sport of bowling and its greatest legend Earl Anthony. Suitable for framing.
Spread the word to all USBC Youth members that whoever wins Malott’s All-Stars contest might be the next LeRoy Nieman or the next Wes Malott. Either way, suitable for framing.
