Honda Insight will be awarded as Grand Prize in web-based photo challenge

TORRANCE, Calif. - In the tradition of American Honda’s support of the arts and overall environmental leadership, Honda joins the Green Music Group (GMG) as a prize sponsor in the first-ever Green Music Group Challenge. As a part of the sponsorship, a 2010 Honda Insight hybrid will be awarded as the Grand Prize at the conclusion of the 18-week web-based photo contest.

“At Honda, we have long supported environmental and musical initiatives,” said Tom Peyton, senior manager of Honda national advertising. “We hope Honda’s participation in the Green Music Group Challenge will encourage music fans to make small changes in their lives that will add up to a significant positive impact to our environment.”

Starting on April 10th music fans can participate in nine bi-weekly “call to action” environmental challenges issued by Green Music Group artists such as the Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow and Civic Tour alumni band, Maroon 5. For each of the challenges, participants will submit a photo illustrating their completion of the specific eco-minded activity. Each entry will be judged and prizes will be awarded to challenge winners, with all entries being eligible for the Grand Prize drawing of a 2010 Honda Insight hybrid.

“We are excited to once again work with Honda on this effort to enact environmental change,” said Adam Gardner, co-founder of Reverb and guitarist / vocalist of Guster. “Our goal is to reach millions of music fans and empower them to make a difference in their community, one step at a time.”
