The one and only David Suzuki has recently launched a new contest for singer/songwriters, the Playlist For The Planet Contest. Check out his website here for more information.

A Playlist for the Planet CD and downloadable album will be released by Universal Music this October — and we're hoping to get the Scott Valentine song "Save The World" to be part of it. We hope Save The World will become an anthem for change — a song that will inspire us all!

Since a clean, healthy, sustainable planet is something we all need, David Suzuki and CBC Radio 3 are putting out a Canada-wide call for songwriters of all levels to bring their talents forward.

Make sure you join Playlist for the Planet on the CBC Radio 3 website, and also visit Scott Valentine's profile on the CBC R3 website here.

A part of this contest will be the all-too-familiar Vote For Me element, which has become all too commonplace within music and social media these days. But alas, it's a necessary evil to help spread the music and for contests like this to pick the cream of the crop. We hate always having to ask for votes, it's just far too "spammy" for our likes...but...what can we do? This is a contest which is near and dear to both us and Scott Valentine, so we need to just dive in and play along.

So to get things started and to round up some excitement for this event, we've decide to give everyone a Free Download of Save The World! Grab it. Love it. And most importantly...Share it!
