Save the Music for School Music Projects

Posted by on September 28, 2009

Do Something and VH1 Save the Music Announce Awards Program for School Music Projects
Deadline: October 16, 2009

Do Something and VH1 Save the Music are inviting young people to help advocate for music education in their schools.

Student-led music education advocacy efforts could include the posting of promotional and educational materials around schools, starting petitions or running letter-writing campaigns to save music programs, running instrument drives, organizing concerts, or starting a Web site or blog.

Do Something and a panel of expert judges will evaluate efforts and decide which students created the most effective efforts to advocate for music education. The top five music education advocates will each receive $1,000 for their school music program as well as Rock Band Video game packages. One grand-prize winner will receive $2,500 in school music funding and a Beatles Rock Band game system. The prize money must go to a school music program or a school music program in need.

Visit the Do Something Web site for complete program information, including suggestions for music education advocacy projects.
