WE ARE AT A CRUCIAL MOM
ENT IN HISTORY 
 One that requires us to change our behaviour rapidly and move billions of people from apathy to action. 

What if we unleashed the power of music, to conquer hearts and minds?
And inspired millions to defend the fragile ecosystems that sustain all life on earth?

 THE ENVIRONMENTAL MUSIC PRIZE 

Over $20,000 in prize money and in-kind support to reward artists that inspire us to protect the environment and songs that have the potential to become anthems for change.

Objectives:

• Remind people of their deep connection to nature and give them a burning desire to protect it.
• Use songs and their emotive video clips to reach diverse audiences and touch parts of the population who usually ignore environmental news.
• Strategically leverage the voice, platform and cultural influence of artists who can deliver highly personalised messages to their niche audience. 
• Build a movement of artists who are committed to using their voice.
  We will invite them to sign Green Music's Climate Declaration, connect them with relevant Environmental Partners and support them with information, resources and media training.
  
• Support Artists and Musicians at an extremely difficult time when they have lost all event-related income.

 WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW? 

• The IPCC Report was a "code red for humanity" and our planet.
• Australia was ranked dead last in world (out of 193 countries) on Climate Action in the 2021 UN Sustainable Development Report for its failure to take action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.
• UN Climate Summit (COP26) is taking place November 1-13 in Glasgow. 
  Most other countries will be increasing their commitments and taking bold action and there will be massive international pressure for Australia to make credible commitments and to stop undermining international efforts.
• The next three months provide a great opportunity to encourage a change in federal policy, so it is essential that there is broad community support for strong policy and immediate action.
