A red-carpet and star-studded event in New York City, the National Poetry SLAM! occurs each spring at venues as diverse as Harlem’s Apollo Theater and the New York Stock Exchange.
Thousands of SCORES students take center stage at regional Poetry SLAM’s! for the opportunity to perform their original poetry on a national stage—only 14 will get the chance in 2016.
The event showcases the power of America SCORES to improve lives while celebrating the achievements of these outstanding elementary school youth.
The SLAM! is attended by SCORES families, coaches and teachers from around the country, as well as representatives of top corporate, finance, and sports brands.
Since 2014, with the support of News Corp, the event has been live streamed online.
