The GRAMMY Foundation® and MusiCares® Teens! Make Music Contest offers a great opportunity for aspiring teen musicians to use the healing and uplifting medium of music to help spread the message about the importance of healthy choices and the dangers of drug abuse. The contest asks young musicians to create original music and/or music videos that celebrate healthy and inspirational living, or accurately depict the dark side of drug abuse.

CONTEST

Three original music compositions that highlight the dangers and impact of drug and alcohol use have been selected as the winners of the GRAMMY Foundation® and MusiCares® Teens! Make Music Contest. All winners will attend the 55th annual GRAMMY Awards® Backstage Experience, a special backstage tour that takes place while artists rehearse for the live GRAMMY Awards, along with other prizes.
