Bluegrass/Oldtime
Americana/Country/Singer-songwriter
Latin/World/Reggae
Rock/Funk/Dance

Sponsors of the event will present cash prizes to the winners in each category.
The event format was selected by Quality Forward because of the organization’s obvious ties to Earth Day in keeping with it's mission to create a Clean & Green Asheville and Buncombe County. According to Executive Director Susan Roderick, Quality Forward is hoping that the broad appeal of this event will draw attention to the need for everyone to get involved in preserving our area’s natural resources.
This event is for adults 18 years and older.
In addition to band entry forms, this web site includes sponsorship opportunities, electronic voting, volunteer opportunities and updated concert information, as well as a listing of other Earth Day events.
Quality Forward, founded in 1973, has been instrumental in enhancing Asheville’s natural beauty and quality of life by planting thousands of trees, beautifying city gateways and neighborhoods, picking up tons of litter from our streets and waterways, and promoting recycling and waste management.
