Olympic Blvd. Teen contestants ages 13-18 will be judged on musicianship, communication, artistry, audience appeal, marketability and overall presentation by a panel of industry experts. The first-place prize is $3,000 and an opportunity to record a professional demo. All finalists will receive $500 and additional prizes.

“What is so exciting about Raise Your Voice for Peace is that it not only epitomizes Jenesse’s mission to ensure that the next generation understands what healthy relationships look like, but it is an opportunity for students to be celebrated and supported through showcasing their amazing talent in front of their friends and members of the community at the Grammy Museum, one of the premiere venues in Los Angeles,” said Dr. Angela Parker, director of training and programs for Jenesse.
The Jenesse Center provides holistic services including a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency housing, transitional housing, legal services, mental health services, vocational training and the Jeneration J youth initiative. The Raise Your Voice for Peace event is a fundraiser benefitting programs assisting young people.
