National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coin Program Design Competition

The United States Mint announces the opening of a national coin design competition that will culminate in the Secretary of the Treasury's selection of the image for the obverse (heads side) of the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins. The competition, which is open to all United States citizens and permanent residents ages 14 and over, begins on April 11, 2013, at 12 noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The submission period will end at 12 noon EDT on April 26, 2013, if 10,000 or more entries have been received by that time. If fewer than 10,000 entries have been received by 12 noon EDT on April 26, 2013, then the submission period will remain open until 10,000 entries have been received, but will end no later than May 11, 2013, at 12 noon EDT. The winner of the design competition will be awarded $5,000, and the winner's initials will appear on the minted coins.
