On March 30, the nation’s best prep basketball stars will show their stuff in the high-intensity POWERADE Jam Fest at the 2009 McDonald’s All American Games at the BankUnited Center in Miami, Fla. To purchase tickets, visit Ticketmaster here.

POWERADE is looking for athletes who can rise above the rim and throw down a serious dunk.  Those with skills are encouraged to prove it by entering a video in the POWERADE Dunk DominatION4 contest. 

Athletes can submit a video of their best jam at www.Takkle.com and if their celebration of elevation stands out from the rest, they will star in a national POWERADE commercial during the 2009 POWERADE Jam Fest. 

The POWERADE Dunk DominatION4 contest is open until March 18 and will be judged by a panel that includes 2002 McDonald’s All-American alumnus and all-star Amar’e Stoudemire.

Some of the past POWERADE Jam Fest winners include Candace Parker (2004), LeBron James (2003), Carmelo Anthony (2002), Baron Davis (1997) and Vince Carter (1995). See the Jam Fest highlights by visiting our YouTube site here.
