Honoring a bevy of super-talented rising stars ages 5 - 21, the Young Entertainer Awards has all the trappings and show-biz pizzazz of the Oscars, Emmys, or Golden Globes. There are award categories for performance in film, TV, voice-over, web, and theatre, as well as for directing.

Disney/Pixar's newest star, 13-year-old Anthony Gonzalez, who voiced the role of Miguel in the Academy Award-winning film Coco, will receive the first- ever "Breakout Young Entertainer of the Year Award" at this year's ceremony.

In addition to receiving the Breakout Young Entertainer of the Year Award, Anthony Gonzalez will perform with his older siblings in their family mariachi band. Also performing at this year's ceremony will be 15-year-old Aliyah Moulden, a top 3 finalist from NBC's The Voice 2017 who has been compared to such legends as Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and Adele. Among this year's presenters will be broadcast journalist Naibe Reynoso, well known to audiences for her news and entertainment segments on Fox News Latino and CNN Español.

Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented in 2016 and 2017 to two successful entertainment industry professionals who began their careers as young performers: highly accomplished entertainer Fergie and gifted filmmaker/choreographer Kevin Tancharoen.

More than 500 young entertainers and directors vie for Young Entertainer Awards each year. The 2018 finalists will be announced soon. Studios and production companies represented include Disney, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Paramount, Amazon Studios, Hallmark, Nickelodeon, PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS, MTV, Netflix, Telemundo, Family Channel, Lifetime, Cartoon Network, Discovery Kids, Dreamworks TV, Lionsgate, and more.

The Young Entertainer Awards Foundation scholarship program seeks to assist and encourage physically or financially disadvantaged young performers.

This year's scholarship recipient will be Silverlake Conservatory, a non-profit music school in Los Angeles founded by Michael "Flea" Balzay of the Red Hot Chili Peppers
