Entrants worldwide are invited to set aside genre and create a single piece of music which best encapsulates an inspired peace message. In the case of 'Peace Song', 30 Human Rights videos form the basis of inspiration for songwriters to write a song which could influence audiences to positive change. Prizes are targeted at empowering the aspiring singer songwriter at the entry level and include an International prize package and a New Zealand prize package.
