The Music Matters Project

Call For Submissions : The Music Matters Project

The Music Matters Project is a not for profit project created by Gregory Taylor, a professional music photographer from Tempe, AZ. Music Matters is meant to be a great visual illustration of the power of music photography. A call for submission is in place asking photographers (professional and amateur) to submit their best music photography. All proceeds of the Music Matters book will be sent directly to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a registered 501(c)3 in California. Sweet Relief Musicians Fund provides financial assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems.
