LA Youth Photography Competition Launches For Aspiring Artists
Local nonprofit invites young photographers to showcase talent in citywide contest
Mount of Angels, a nonprofit focused on youth artistic development, has launched its first-ever LA Youth Photography Competition open to all Los Angeles residents under 18 years old. The competition aims to provide young photographers with a platform to display their work professionally without traditional barriers to entry.
“Photography is a powerful way for young artists to tell their stories and share how they see the world,” said Jesse Cohen, Founder of Mount of Angels. “We want to create an inclusive platform where every child has the chance to express themselves without the traditional barriers to entry in the art world.”
The competition is now accepting high-resolution photo submissions through the organization’s website at https://mountofangels.com/
While the suggested theme is “Resilience — Post Fire Life in LA,” participants are welcome to submit any original photographs. Selected submissions, based on available space, will be professionally printed, framed, and displayed in a gallery exhibition.
Participation in the contest is completely free, with no entry fee required. No professional equipment is necessary for submissions, as contestants can use any camera or phone available to them, set to optimal resolution.
The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2025. After review, chosen photographs will be showcased in a professional gallery space that will be announced at a later date. Visitors to the exhibition can vote for their favorite works, with prizes awarded to the top three works as chosen by the public. All participants will be recognized for their creativity and artistic vision.
Parents, teachers, and community members are encouraged to spread information about the competition to young artists. Updates and submission details are available on the Mount of Angels website and Instagram account @mountofangelsfoundation.
