On Thursday, April 25, the Long Beach Post hosted an event to honor young people from around the city who are doing great things to better their community and beyond. Out of hundreds of nominations from our readers, judges chose 40 winners who run the gamut from educators to artists to business owners to community activists, all of whom represent just a selection of those who are today contributing to the betterment of Long Beach.

Emma and Isaac are quite possibly the coolest kids in Long Beach. Writing their own songs and playing their own instruments, the teenage brother-and-sister duo better known as the Potential Lunatics has not just hit the local circuit by playing practically every nook and cranny of a space that can be called a venue, they also recently played at the revered and respected SXSW festival in Austin. In addition to more than 10 years of songwriting under their belts, the pair are active in supporting other artistic teens, hosting open mic nights and speaking at TEDxYouth conferences.
