As you know, the WFMT is celebrating 30 years as an international organization. The WFMT Council invites you to continue our celebration year with two new initiatives: WFMT Contributions Project and Happy Birthday Social Media posts. Look out for an announcement in September regarding the 30th Anniversary song contest winner!WFMT Contributions ProjectThe purpose of this project is to assemble a collection of messages acknowledging various music therapists or professional organizations who have made an impact on the lives of our WFMT members. It is also an opportunity to share important landmark contributions that have supported the growth of music therapy internationally as determined by our members. Each week, a few of the contributions will be shared in the WFMT Facebook Group to help the WFMT complete our 30th Anniversary year with a bang!Here is what you have to do to participate:

- made a valuable contribution to the global development of music therapy.
- Be sure to include your rationale for selecting this person/organization.
OR
- Write a short narrative (200 word limit) on a book or journal publication that you believe has made an important contribution not only to the music therapy literature, but also to the global growth of music therapy.
