Thirty-two songs were shortlisted from hundreds of entries representing all regions of the Philippines. Fourteen finalists were singled out from the short list. The jury then chose the top 5 songs with the grand prize winner and the other special awards winners.Earthday Jam Foundation president Lou Bonnevie presided as chair of the board of judges composed of popular singer and songwriter Noel Cabangon, renowned US-based composer Odette Quesada, music theater director and writer Henry C. Tejero, record label producer Ito Rapadas, and digital marketing specialist Mario Joson.The event is presented by Eathday Jam Foundation, Inc as part of its 20th-anniversary celebration.
