  1. That is a wonderful cause. But I have to take the opportunity to inform you guys to "double dip" your entries into a generic music competition that accepts entries worldwide and has monthly competitions. The Make A Star contest (makeastar.com) has awarded nearly $32,000 in prizes already and has multiple categories for competitions each month. I think it would be a great complementary outlet for you guys to not only promote your music but also Earth Day.
