Our first prize winner.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Magnus Carlson from Weeping Willows receives the 2024 Art for the Globe Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Baltic Sea is one of the world\u2019s most polluted seas.\u2028An area of the seabed larger than Denmark is dead. We humans are the ones who have caused it with over-fertilisation, oil spills and fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politicians do what they can. \u2028Scientists and environmental activists, too.
But the artist has other means.\u2028Throughout history, talented painters, musicians, authors and actors have played an explanatory role in our society. They are the visionaries who seek to illuminate so that the rest of us have a sense of reality. \u2028Magnus Carlsson is the lead singer of the Weeping Willows. \u2028For nearly twenty years, he has been using his microphone to be heard beyond the concert hall. \u2028\"It started when I became a father. My perspectives changed that night. The questions were different: what will our future look like? My focus was on water, the source of life.\" \u2028Magnus used his cultural personality as a source of engagement. It started with support concerts for environmental organisations. \u2028Which led to an invitation to the TV show \u2028\u201cS\u00e5 mycket b\u00e4ttre\u201d in 2016 (where Magnus taught the other participants how to make spawning grounds for endangered fish). That led to an appearance in \u201cSommar\u201d on P1 (where Magnus focused the entire programme on the vulnerability of the globe). He went on to write a book \u201cEn annan framtid\u201d (where Magnus writes about his personal sustainability journey), which sowed the seeds of Weeping Willow\u2019s acclaimed album \u201cAfter us\u201d about the Earth\u2019s future.
Like ripples on the water.\u2028
One thing leads to another.\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnus attracts a new audience to listen to the big environmental issues. He uses the strange ability of culture to touch us deep within, deeper than warnings and alarming reports can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we are very proud to award Magnus Carlson
the 2024 Art for the Globe Award. \u2028\u2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the prize of SEK 500,000, the winner also receives the artwork M\u00f6nstrad m\u00e5ne. \u2028Sculptural painting, mixed technique, 2024 Artwork awarded to Magnus Carlson on 13 March 2024.
