News Summary

Every year, the Entertainment Industries Council (EIC) honors the accurate depiction of drug, alcohol and tobacco use and addiction with the PRISM Awards.

This year, EIC is launching a special honor -- the PRISM President's Award. According to an EIC press release, the award "recognizes an entertainment industry project, whether a production, campaign or outreach effort, that not only raises awareness but leaves behind a legacy."

SHARE -- Songs of Hope, Awareness and Recovery for Everyone -- is the inaugural recipient of the PRISM President's Award. The SHARE committee promotes the treatment and prevention of substance use disorders using Nashville artists, songwriters, promoters, and technicians. The video for "When Love Rules the World" was also nominated for a PRISM award.

After releasing a CD and video for the SHARE signature song, "When Love Rules the World," the legacy continues with live performances by the artists and songwriters. The Committee received support to create the CD from Join Together.

The 8th Annual PRISM Awards will be awarded on April 29th and the ceremony will be broadcast on May 16, 2004 on the FX Network.

You can purchase a copy of the SHARE CD from Hazelden.
