Calling all Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows amateur athletes. Schick Xtreme Team is giving away two $10,000 prizes.

Staying sharp is key to a great performance in sports. Schick Xtreme Sport will award the prizes to two amateur athletes to help them stay sharp, in shape, and perform their best.

The contest invites amateur and non-professional athletes to submit an essay describing how they push the boundaries and challenge the norms as they strive to excel in their chosen sport.

“Xtreme3 recognizes that most high-performance athletes need financial support to achieve excellence in their sport,” said Alison Jacobs, brand manager, Schick Canada.

Athletes 13 years of age or older currently training in a sport at the provincial level or higher can enter for a chance to win by submitting their essay on www.SchickXtremeTeam.ca by 8:59 p.m. on Sept. 30.

The winners will be chosen based on a set of judging criteria which are outlined in the rules and regulations found on the contest website, along with full eligibility requirements and details.
