ACTION: Notification of the Opening of the United States Mint Kids' 
Baseball Coin Design Challenge on April 11, 2013.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Mint announces the opening of a national 
kids' baseball coin design challenge on April 11, 2013, that seeks 
design entries from contestants age 13 years or younger on the theme, 
``What's Great about Baseball.'' As part of the United States Mint's 
education initiative, this challenge is designed to provide learning 
materials for children, teachers, and parents on the United States Mint 
and its coins and medals, to build awareness of the bureau's operations 
and programs, and to complement the United States Mint National 
Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Program Design Competition, 
which is a national competition for individuals 14 or older to create 
the design for the common obverse (front) of coins to be issued under 
the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Program.
    In creating their design entries, contestants are allowed to use 
any medium--acrylics, watercolor, pencil, charcoal, marker, spray 
paint, crayon,

pastels, or digital software. All contestants will receive a letter of 
acknowledgement. Eligible entries will be posted on Challenge.gov, and 
the design with the most public votes in each age bracket (0-5 years, 
6-10 years, and 11-13 years) will be considered the overall winner for 
that age bracket. Each of these grand prize winners will receive a 
National Baseball Hall of Fame $1 Silver Commemorative Coin. Each of 
the four runners up in each age bracket will receive a National 
Baseball Hall of Fame Half-Dollar Clad Commemorative Coin.
    On behalf of each contestant, a parent or guardian must submit a 
completed application on Challenge.gov, including uploading the design 
entry and agreeing to the Parent/Legal Guardian Consent Form and Rights 
Transfer Agreement. Entries must be submitted no later than May 23, 
2013, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Official rules, guidelines,
