Art contest: My Los Angeles
CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of our annual art contest which asked teens to show us what Los Angeles means to them. The L.A. Youth teen staff chose these images as the winners.



Second place, $50. Ellen Khansefid, 16, Hamilton HS. Teacher: Julie McManus
“I included as much variety in the people as I could. They’re all people I see in my life and who influence me in that their vast differences make things interesting. There’s no other place like Los Angeles, and anywhere you go you can see so many examples of creativity, which shapes my art.”
