MAVS host art contest

By Collin Kim

To honor Black History and inspire future changemakers, the Dallas Mavericks are hosting the 2025 Black History Month Art Contest, presented by AT&T, open now through Feb. 9. North Texas students, grades 8-12, are encouraged to create and digitally submit a visual medium that represents Black History and the growth of representation of Black Culture in the arts through different eras of time. The Mavericks selection committee will administer and choose winners based on level of relation to theme, originality and creativity and educational value.

The selected top five Grand Prize winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C., where the group will visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture and other historical sites. The Grand Prize winners will also be invited to a suite experience and recognized on-court during the Feb. 27 Mavericks home game. Throughout the month of March and April, the top artists’ work will be featured in the African American Museum of Dallas.
