A winner will be announced early next month in the L.A. Urban League's contest to reward one entrepreneur with a six-month lease for a kiosk at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.

"I'm really looking for entrepreneurs who've done their homework who understand a little it about the market - a little bit about the dynamics of the market and are thinking for the long term, about how their business might survive over multiple years opposed to just the immediate launch," L.A. Urban League head Blair Taylor said.

The field has been narrowed down from 60 to three. Find out more about the finalists and the competition at Annenberg Radio News.
