We’re proud to be the official music partner of this global youth initiative, inviting creators under 30 to share their vision of peace through art. This is your chance to let your music travel far beyond the AT studio and become part of a worldwide creative movement. Selected works may be showcased on global stages, including the Sound of Peace Concert 2026 at St. Peter’s Square, Rome (May 2026) and the UN Climate COP30 in Belém, Brazil (for early entries in November)

How to join:

Create a track on Audiotool inspired by the theme: What does peace mean to you? Publish it publicly. Submit your track via the form on this page: https://catalystnow.net/what-does-peace-mean-to-you/ (only ogg supported)

New Deadline: January 20, 2026. (Open to anyone under 30)

All submitted tracks will be included in a global peace campaign and shared with communities worldwide.
