TIP (Teens in the Park) Fest is the largest platform for Chicago’s young artists to showcase their talent, connect to resources and most of all celebrate one another's talents. Over 3,000 teens attended last year’s festival. Due to city and state COVID-19 related restrictions, we’re going virtual this year. The virtual fest provides talented teens the opportunity to be seen far beyond the city of Chicago. All artists must be between the ages of 14-24 and live in Chicago. Winners will receive the following prizes: 1st place $500 | 2nd place $250 | 3rd place $150
AND THE WINNERS ARE........
1st Place: Justice Lewis, poet
2nd Place: Inari, rapper
3rd Place: The Happiness Club, dance group
Congratulations to all the finalists and thanks to all the artists that submitted audition videos.
