In an attempt to keep young adults from abusing harmful substances, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, MusiCares and the GRAMMY Foundation have come together to offer the second annual Teen Substance Abuse Awareness through Music Contest.

Through this initiative, the organizations call on teenage musicians between the ages of 14 and 18 to develop an original song and/or music video that either explores the benefits of a healthy lifestyle or tells a story about drug abuse.

The contest's first place winner will have the opportunity to attend the 54th annual GRAMMY Awards and take a backstage tour to see artists rehearse for the show. In addition, individuals who place first, second and third will have their entries posted online at the GRAMMY365 and Above the Influence campaign websites, as well as on the MTV Act blog.

An official from the GRAMMY Foundation explained that last year's submissions were powerful and he looks forward to seeing the entries they will soon receive as they help to show the toll that addiction can have on one's life.

Teenagers who have grown dependent on drugs may be able to receive treatment for their addictions from boarding schools.
