Know any Nationals fans who are 12 years old or younger and have dreams of working in big-league broadcasting?  It’s time to enter them in ESPN Zone’s Junior Broadcaster contest on Tuesday, August 19th at 6 p.m. To enter, stop by ESPN Zone’s SportsCenter Studio Store and complete a sign-up form.

COMPETE: In Round One, each contestant will sit behind a microphone on set at ESPN Zone and present the play-by-play for one Nationals highlight. Contestants may either recite the original broadcaster’s play-by-play (a transcript of which will be provided) or present their own original play-by-play.  Judges will then select five finalists, who will each call a second, different play.  Judges will provide feedback and vote, which counts for half of the final results. The other half will come from fans in attendance, so come out and support your favorite Junior Broadcaster!

WIN: Two winners will be selected to spend a day in the TV broadcast booth at an upcoming Nationals game, and two winners will be selected to work in the radio booth. The four winners will also receive game tickets and an ESPN Zone prize pack.
