Win a Honda Insight in the Green Music Group Challenge

American Honda recently announced it is the prize sponsor in the first-ever Green Music Group Challenge, and will be awarding a 2010 Honda Insight hybrid as the Grand Prize at the conclusion of the 18-week web-based photo contest.

"At Honda, we have long supported environmental and musical initiatives," Tom Peyton, senior manager of Honda national advertising, said in a release. "We hope Honda’s participation in the Green Music Group Challenge will encourage music fans to make small changes in their lives that will add up to a significant positive impact to our environment."

Music fans can participate in nine bi-weekly environmental challenges issued by Green Music Group artists such as the Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow and Civic Tour alumni band and Maroon 5. For each of the challenges, participants will submit a photo illustrating their completion of a specific eco-minded activity at the following link.

"We are excited to once again work with Honda on this effort to enact environmental change," said Adam Gardner, co-founder of Reverb and guitarist / vocalist of Guster. "Our goal is to reach millions of music fans and empower them to make a difference in their community, one step at a time."

Standard features of the entry-level version of the Insight include front, front-side and side-curtain airbags, an anti-lock braking system, continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT); Eco Assist; automatic climate control and tilt and telescope steering column. The LX is of course the lowest version of the hybrid, but not the only one available.

Honda’s Insight hybrid has an Eco Assist system in order to help drivers achieve improved real-world fuel economy from the 4 cylinder engine with intelligent variable valve timing. It can travel 400 miles (643 km) by using only 10.6 gallons of fuel (40 liters).
