YOUNG ENTERTAINER AWARDS FOUNDATION
The Young Entertainer Awards Foundation is a
non-profit organization that was created by various members of the entertainment industry who want to
provide a positive incentive for young entertainers to perfect their skills, to build a strong
foundation of confidence that will benefit them, not
only in their present acting career, but also in
whatever path they wish to follow in their future,
and to provide a scholarship to an individual or to
another organization or institution assisting
talented youth who might not otherwise be able to
realize their dream.
The Young Entertainer Awards Foundation seeks to
recognize outstanding
performances of young entertainers in film,
television, stage, and music and to assist
and encourage physically or financially challenged
performers to keep their dreams
alive through our scholarship program.
About Us
The Young Entertainer Awards was founded by Amparo
and Michael Wiener to bring together young
performers and their families to honor and celebrate
their performance achievements in film, television,
music, and stage in an awards show just for young
entertainers.
In addition to being an experienced awards show
director, Michael Wiener and his wife Amparo are no
strangers to the experience of children in the
entertainment industry. Their four children all
began performing at a very young age and have
continued their careers in entertainment well into
their adult lives, going on to work for many of the
largest names in the business in many facets of the
industry; from on camera, voice-over, and music, to
behind the scenes endeavors like content creation,
TV show development and film and music production.
FOUNDERS MESSAGE:
"We know first hand the value of peer recognition,
family encouragement and support, and preparation in
the lives of young entertainers. That's what the
Young Entertainer Awards is all about --- all actors
and actress, working and struggling, make a
tremendous effort in their endeavor to land a role.
It's that very endeavor we wish to recognize,
encourage, support and celebrate so that they have
nice memories of this time in their lives."
