EMA - ANNUAL EVENT INFORMATION
Since 1991, the EMA Awards has been the premiere awards program solely devoted to the entertainment industry’s environmental efforts. A pioneer in linking the power of celebrity to environmental awareness, it was EMA who invented the “green carpet,” launching the concept of taking a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle — not a limo — to the EMA Awards show. The awards show has been a launching pad for iconic green innovations (like the Toyota Prius) and landmark environmental films (like “Inconvenient Truth” and “Food Inc.”). EMA showcases the most cutting edge brands, chefs and artists dedicated to sustainable living and advancing sustainability messages. Since 2009, the EMA Awards Gala has also honored environmentally responsible entertainment companies with our EMA Green Seal Program. Over the past years, the EMA Awards have hosted such luminaries as Al Gore, Dave Matthews, Rob Reiner, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pierce Brosnan, Robert Redford, Edward Norton, Sir Richard Branson, Jeff Skoll, Ted Turner, Elon Musk, Bill McKibben, Matt Damon, Jessica Alba, Maroon 5, and Justin Timberlake. In 2015, it was no different, as we honored icons Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Henley and the United States’ first official Green Czar, Van Jones. Beginning in 2016, The EMA Awards Gala will broaden its scope, honoring all aspects of “media.” Introducing four new categories, for Outstanding Achievements in Advertising, Music, Technology and Environmental Missions.
