THE AWARDS
The Music Cities Awards is a global competition designed to acknowledge and reward the most outstanding applications of music for economic, social, environmental, and cultural development in cities and places all around the world.
Since its launch in 2020, the MCA’s have become a global showcase of the state of the art of projects using music to make cities better and a source of inspiration for those music advocates looking to create a positive impact in their communities.
