Youth Hip-Hop and Leadership Summit
Paving Great Futures is bringing the Fourth annual Youth Hip Hop Summit. Artists and youth between the ages of 12 and 17 are brought together in a summit to educate them on the music business, unity, conflict resolution, continuing their education, and responsible life skills. The summit will be on the San Diego State University campus. There will be a panel of well-known, locally respected artists that will discuss these topics using Hip Hop as the vessel to capture the youth's hearts and minds. After the panel discussion there will be a positive song creating contest. The contest winners will win $1,000 cash prize, a free professional production of their song, professional music video produced of the song, and an onstage performance at an upcoming community event. There will also be a $500 prize for second and $250 for third place. ATTENTION ADULTS: NO ONE OVER THE AGE OF 18 WILL BE ADMITTED unless they are a registered event volunteer. A resource center will be available for parents.
