Driven by the historical and spiritual awareness that music has the power to promote peace individually and collectively, the PSAs shine a light on music for peace in many music genres including Rock / Pop, Country, Folk, A Cappella / Choral / Classical / Opera, Jazz, Hip Hop, New Age, World Music, Acoustic Contemporary, Spoken Word Poetry, one “all-genre” Music Video category and (in 2019-20), a new category for Sound Healing.

Hundreds of entries from across the globe were reviewed and narrowed down by a panelist of entertainment experts resulting in just a few extraordinary finalists across 11 categories; the Category, Social Media and Public Voting winners will be revealed at the afternoon PSA awards ceremony, as will the coveted overall “PSA Grand Prize” winner. Robertson will also reveal the identity of this year’s Peace Legend Honoree, a new annual honor to be bestowed upon individuals who have made a significant contribution to the message of peace through the arts.

The Peace Song Awards and International Peace Day Celebration will be broadcast live to several million homes worldwide through the generous services of Peter Young, President of Hubcast Media and Shan Hashemidazeh, President of MelliTV. A live MelliTV and Roku link will be provided along with an archive link for later viewing.

The International Peace Day Celebration is a ticketed fundraiser immediately following the free Peace Song Awards, in the same location at AWA Oasia; beneficiaries of the evening include ProjectPeaceOnEarth (PPoE), Evolving Planet 7(EP7) and AWA Oasia. Delicious food and drink, live musical performances by Peace Song Awards winners will accentuate the wisdom of keynote speakers, inspiring workshops, short films, live visionary art, and a wide array of peace-related products and activities. Free street parking is available, as well as, nearby paid parking lots.

The Third Ear sound healing app is one example of a peace & wellness company that will be showcased at the International Peace Day Celebration from 4:30 pm onward. PSA founder Robertson recently announced a partnership with the founder of the Third Ear, Leo Cosendai; his new music and meditation app was developed for Refugees, Veterans and Active Duty Soldiers for free 24/7 access to Gong, Sound Bowl, Guided Audio/Video Mindful Meditation and inspirational healing music. The FREE app will be demonstrated at the Peace Song Awards’ International Peace Day Celebration, and healing-music artists will have the opportunity to join experts like Jack Kornfield Ph.D. in donating music and meditation content to assist and comfort those who suffer at the hands of conflict and war. A free access code will be shared at the event. Visit https://thirdear.com/ for more information.

Nadine Casanova, Founder/CEO of AWA Oasia said, “We are so greatly honored to host the Peace Song Awards ceremonies a co-produce a Celebration on International Peace Day. It is literally the fulfillment of a dream come true after first seeing and placing PPoE and PSA peace goddess image on my vision board above my piano over 10 years ago. Every day I would create music and think about how I could make a positive impact. When I synchronistically met Steve Robertson at AWA and he asked if we would be interested in hosting PSA, I had goosebumps and joyous tears. I knew it was destined to be.”
