Call for Music ‘’Let the music talk !‘’

The Rio+20 Global Youth Music Contest is a global competition for young people organized by the International Association for the Advancement of Innovative Approaches to Global Challenges (IAAI) with a wide number of partners and youth networks in the context of the forthcoming Rio+20 United Nations Conference for Sustainable Development to be held in June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Rio+20 Global Youth Music Contest encourages youth to express their hopes, concerns and thoughts on future of our earth through the universal language of music as a powerful expression that incites commitment for sustainable development. The contest will collect musical messages from global youth exploring solutions for sustainable development challenges faced by present and future generations and the winners will be rewarded a trip to Rio de Janeiro to participate in the Rio+20 UN Conference in June 2012 and make the voices of global youth heard through their music.

This is your chance to inspire, connect and mobilize yourself to energize effective global governance for sustainable development and support the work of the United Nations system.

Be creative! Think global! Have your say now! Let the music talk, let the rhythm play and let the world know what the youth have to say!

Deadline to submit your music video online is 18th March 2012 at midnight GMT.

We believe in your creativity to make the world a better place for all to live!
