Air Guitar World Championships

Make Air Not War
The purpose of the Air Guitar World Championships is to promote world peace.
According to the competition ideology, wars will end, climate change will stop and all bad things will vanish when all the people in the world play the air guitar.
That’s why everyone is invited at the end of the competition to play the air guitar all at once to save the world.
Since 1996
Peaceful gunpowder has been tooted into the atmosphere from Oulu for over 20 years. The battle, which once even raised heated discussion, has now become an international media magnet of good mood, built on the foundation of captivating and avowed enthusiasts around the world.
Air guitar playing is not instrumental sports or arts, nor does it require any special venues or skills, so it is accessible to all. Air guitar can be grasped regardless of gender, age, ethnic background, sexual orientation and social status. Air guitar playing is equal.
Air Guitar World Championships have the EcoCompass environmental certificate. We aim at reducing the environmental strain caused by events and want to be in the frontline of the field of events in sustainable development.
