2022 enviro music prizeThe inaugural Environmental Music Prize –$20,000 AUD – the world’s first music prize that celebrates artists who are inspiring action on climate and conservation. has just revealed its first ever finalists - 24 Australian songs have been selected from over 200 entries. The full list of finalists is below and voting is still open to the public.
 
The organisers are partnering with Greenpeace, Wilderness Society, Australian Youth Climate Coalition and Ocean Impact Organisation. Their message is let's get the climate community to unite around the power of music! 😊
 
Part of the goal of the prize is to find a climate anthem to inspire change for the planet.
 
As a non-profit, the Environmental Music Prize goes far beyond traditional awards and is centred on impact. Core to the design is the desire to educate and empower artists to use their voice and influence, both on and off stage, and become climate leaders. The artists are Australian but voting to open to everyone across the globe. The prize looks to expand to a global stage next year.
 
Environmental Music Prize founder Edwina Floch recently spoke in a one hour Earth Day special on Outrage + Optimism, a podcast hosted by Christiana Figueres the Chair of Prince William's Earthshot Prize & one of the leading UN figures behind the Paris Climate Accord.
