Attention all elementary school and elementary school kids who are creative (which is everyone in our opinion). We have a creativity contest called Court of Creativity that you’re gonna love.
Drawing in your class? That is perfect.
Baking? Dancing? Singing? Absolutely, a great idea.
Telling a one-of-a-kind story at school with your classmates and making trick shots with custom jerseys you sewed yourselves with a robot? AMAZING - we can’t wait to see it!
The Harlem Globetrotters is partnering with Jersey Mike’s Subs to run a creativity contest for elementary schools to see what today’s kids can create.
Go to courtofcreativity.com to share your creative ideas as it relates to basketball and to have a chance to be one of 10 elementary schools to win $1,000 and have a chance to be named the grand-prize winning school to receive a live performance from The Harlem Globetrotters.
Creativity is everywhere and we believe some of the world's best creators and dreamers are kids. But, where do you start?
Here are last year’s top 10 winners that may inspire you and your classmates to get creative.
In the inaugural year of the Court of Creativity contest, submissions came from elementary school p.e. classrooms, science classes, groups of friends, and family members who helped their elementary school students share their creativity.
A good way to think of what you can create is to ask “what is something you and your friends love to do?”
Then, think of a way to relate what you love to do to basketball!
Now the most important part is to record your creative idea and share it at www.courtofcreativity.com/enter and you’re all set to give your school a chance to win big.

“The submissions we received in our inaugural year were inspiring and we are excited to see the creativity from elementary school students across the country again this year,” said Rich Hope, Chief Marketing Officer of Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems, Inc. “Kids, the ball’s in your court. Go create!”
“Creativity is a critical part of what we do as the Harlem Globetrotters, and we’re excited to provide a platform to foster creative expression in kids with the help of our friends at Jersey Mike’s,” said Keith Dawkins, President of Harlem Globetrotters and Herschend Entertainment Studios ”Our CSR efforts (our Goodwill Ambassador Initiative) are focused around Education, Health & Wellness and Community Empowerment and this partnership is helping us make a deeper impact with the next generation of kids.”
The program is powered by Campus Multimedia as they partner to support schools and leverage their trusted network to make schools aware of this exciting opportunity to inspire students to showcase their creativity.
Get to creating soon! Entries will only be accepted through March 31, 2024, with the grand prize-winning school to be announced on or around “World Creativity Day” on April 21, 2024.
Winning entries will be judged on creative innovation as it relates to the sport of basketball, how the entry incorporates educational themes, the level of complexity, and overall creativity.
Jersey Mike’s wants to see elementary school students push their limits, create something new, and be encouraged to share how they love to create with the ultimate creators - The Harlem Globetrotters.
