Okotoks Pickleball and Tennis Centre taking submissions for an official mascot

The Okotoks Pickleball and Tennis Centre is looking for a mascot.

They've launched a contest and are inviting the public to submit a name and design.

The winner will receive a 10-play pass to the centre, and all entrants will be entered into a draw for a 5-play pass.

As for guidelines, board member Heather Coonfer says creativity is key.

"It can be anything. It can be furry, it can be not furry, it can be real, it can be a pickleball with legs and arms, it can be a paddle with eyes and ears, it can be anything. Your imagination is your limit, right?"

Designs can be submitted to info@okptc.ca, and the deadline is May 30.
