“When you are holding an Air Guitar, you can’t be holding a gun” - Ancient Air Guitar Proverb

“To err is human; to Air Guitar is divine” - Bjorn Turoque, Air Guitar Legend WHAT IS AIR GUITAR? For the past 20 years in Oulu, Finland (the northern capital), Air Guitar hopefuls from around the world meet to compete in the AIR GUITAR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. They create 1-minute performances that defy reality and melt faces. They are judged using the figure skating scoring system of 4.0 to 6.0 with criteria such as stage charisma, technical merit, ability to be taken over by the music, and of course, ‘airness’. Silly? Yes. Entertaining? More than you can imagine. AIR GUITAR CANADA: 2 years ago, Canada came back with a vengeance and re-launched Air Guitar Canada. We sent our first champion in 4 years to Finland and came away with a 5th place finish. We grew from 2 events in 2014 to 8 events in 2015. We are set for more growth in 2016 and want YOU to join us in the fun. IS THIS FOR REAL? This is for real. Air Guitar is a global phenomenon centered on the ideology of world peace. The mantra: ‘When you are holding an Air Guitar, you can’t be holding a gun’ The originators posited – ‘What if everyone around the world was to collectively play air guitar?’ It was surmised that wars would end, peak joy would be achieved, and the human race would instantly be saved from destruction. Our practical take: Let’s rock out for a good cause and raise money for worthy charities. AIR GUITAR FOR GOOD - OUR CHARITY: Our most important objective is to grow the property of Air Guitar as a rocking fundraising event for RIGHT TO PLAY CANADA– A charitable organization dedicated to helping children facing adversity in war torn regions around the world through play and education. SEEKING SPONSORS: We’re seeking supporters and donors to join us and help ensure a significant donation to our charity Right To Play Canada.
