musical happiness 2021

Does music make you happy? Do you tap your toes at the table and sing your heart out in the shower? Then we want you to join us on March 20, 2021, for the first-ever Music Makes People Happy OptiForum. The forum will be unlike all others, featuring musical performances, speakers, projects, and happy thoughts. We will also see the winners of the Optimist Musical Competition: Music Makes People Happy.

We need your help, please! Please download and share the following flyer with the youth in your community and encourage them to enter the Music Makes People Happy competition. Their entry goes straight to Optimist International via YouTube with the hashtag #OptimistMusicalHappiness2021. Youth 11 to 18 (under 19 as of October 1, 2020) are eligible for cash scholarship prizes. You may also download a press release to share with your local media outlets here.
