We have some very exciting news to announce from Rocking the Daisies head quarters. The first winners of the inaugural Climate Change Leadership Awards were announced at a function at the Sandton Sun on Thursday, 11 March 2010. We are very excited to report that out of seven finalists, Rocking the Daisies Music Festival received the award for the Small and Medium Business Sector.

The Climate Change Leadership Awards recognize, reward and celebrate South African businesses, community-based organisations or individuals who are leaders in climate change issues, and who are taking the lead through positive voluntary action by implementing a range of activities related to combating global warming. We are incredibly honoured to be included in these awards as it is an affirmation of all of our hard work and the hard work of everyone involved who have been grafting with us day and night to produce a festival that can simultaneously entertain and change peoples perceptions. We would especially love to say a huge thank you to Hemporium and Tony Budden for being a part of this process right from the beginning and offering green guidance and advice every step of the way. Together we have created an experience that we can be very proud of. Thank you so much for all of your dedication and support in sharing our goals, we are so proud to share this award with all of our partners who worked so hard to promote our green efforts!
