With no charge to enter, ‘The Karate Kid School Challenge’ asks users to submit an essay up to 250 words or less on how their school could benefit from a $5,000 athletic scholarship program. After the entry phase is complete, the essays will be judged and the top 15 finalists will be announced on October 18th. The 15 finalists will then be voted upon by the SheKnows community and the two schools with the highest number of votes will be announced on November 3rd each winning a $5,000 athletic scholarship for their school.
The program is timed alongside the release of The Karate Kid on Blu-ray and DVD, which are both in stores now. The DVD includes behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film Just For Kicks, Chinese lessons, as well as the music video for the film’s hit song, “Never Say Never,” in which Smith sings with teen pop sensation Justin Bieber.
