(Culver City, CA) SheKnows and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment announced the
launch of ‘The Karate Kid School Challenge’ which invites parents,
faculty and students of any United States elementary, middle or high school
to submit an essay about how their school could benefit from a $5,000 athletic
scholarship program.
With no charge to enter, ‘The Karate Kid School Challenge’ asks
users to submit an essay up to 250 words or less on how their school could benefit
from a $5,000 athletic scholarship program. After the entry phase is complete,
the essays will be judged and the top 15 finalists will be announced on October
18th. The 15 finalists will then be voted upon by the SheKnows community and
the two schools with the highest number of votes will be announced on November
3rd each winning a $5,000 athletic scholarship for their school.
The program is timed alongside the release of The Karate Kid on Blu-ray and
DVD, which are both in stores now. The DVD includes behind-the-scenes look at
the making of the film Just For Kicks, Chinese lessons, as well as the music
video for the film’s hit song, “Never Say Never,” in which
Smith sings with teen pop sensation Justin Bieber. The Blu-ray contains exclusive
bonus features which include an alternate ending where fans can watch Jackie
Chan fight, Production Diaries hosted by Jackie Chan and an interactive map
of China which shows all of the amazing locations the movie was shot in. The
Blu-ray Disc™ also contains movieIQ™+sync, a new and immersive BD-Live
movie watching experience that uses a connected real-time movie database. With
a movieIQ enabled Blu-ray Disc and an Internet connected Blu-ray player, movie
fans can dive into continuously updated information on the cast and crew while
exploring relevant trivia such as production facts, music and soundtrack information,
all tied to scenes within the movie. Additionally, movieIQ+sync gives viewers
the full movieIQ experience on their computer or iPhone by linking to the Blu-ray
disc.
