01Beginnings
The sources do not say when this music contest began, or how many times it has run. The one page we have only describes the 2024 edition.1
That page calls it the Moonshadow Memorial Marijuana Music Awards, held as part of Nimbin MardiGrass 2024. The sources do not explain how this name relates to the "Global Marijuana Music Awards" title, so treat the two names with care.1
02The story
The 2024 awards are listed for Saturday 4 May 2024 at 5:00 pm. The same page says the winner can play at the end of Sunday's rally, so the timing is a little muddled on the page itself.1
Entry cost is $2. Songs must run no longer than 4 minutes 20 seconds.1
Prizes are only described as "great prizes". The sources do not say what they are. No winners are named, because the page was written before the event.1
03Culture
The organisers are listed as MardiGrass and the Nimbin Hemp Embassy, and the event is in Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia.1
The 2024 awards honour Frances Moonshadow Hood, described as a medicinal cannabis activist who died in September 2023.1
The sources do not describe the music styles, the judging, or the crowd.
