The Outstanding Young Actor of the Year Award goes to C.J. Sanders who portrayed Ray Charles as a child in the outstanding motion picture, "Ray."

The Inner City Destiny Awards is a vision of its beneficiary, the Los Angeles Inner City Mass Choir, which rose from the ashes of this city's 1992 riots under the direction of Jeffrey Coprich. It began with only 12 members and has evolved under one focused goal: to empower the youth of today through education, entertainment, and economic empowerment to become leaders of tomorrow. Emanating from Watts, the choir has become one of the most well-respected youth choirs in gospel music. R & B singing sensation Tyrese is a former member. The group continues to travel around the country, showcasing their astounding talent for major celebrities including Celine Dion, and Patti LaBelle and receiving high accolades from community leaders such as Congresswoman Maxine Waters, California Governor Gray Davis, and President George W. Bush.
