Adam is nominated for DO SOMETHING Music Artist
Here are the nominees and the reason why they were nominated. Adam was nominated based on a fan-driven Twitter write-in campaign.
Adam Lambert
Throwing huge support towards the Trevor Project Adam donated all the proceeds from "Aftermath Remix" as well as joining the "It Gets Better" campaign. From the beginning of his career, Adam has supported DonorsChoose by helping raise $322,260 for the organization. Instead of birthday gifts for his 29th birthday, Adam asked that friends and family donate to his Charity:Water birthday campaign. In doing so, the fans exceeded his wish of raising $290,000 and raised over $320,000.
Linkin Park
Band member Mike Shinoda designed two T-shirts for the band's charity, Music for Relief, with proceeds going to relief work in Japan, while their song "Issho Ni" is available for download to benefit the victims of the tsunami.
Justin Bieber
Justin dedicated a music video to the many children battling illnesses worldwide, raising $150,000 for a Buffalo, New York children's hospital and works with Pencils of Promise to help build schools and increase education opportunities in the developing world by donating $1 from every ticket sold to the organization.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga called for the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, walking the VMAs red carpet with service members and speaking at a rally, as well as hosting the Hands up for Marriage Equality event supporting same-sex marriage, as well as being the face of the MAC Viva Glam campaign, with 100% of proceeds going to prevent HIV/AIDS.
Nick Jonas
Nick founded the Change for the Children Foundation with his two brothers, Joe and Kevin and is also a leading diabetes advocate and this year became the National Chair for JDRF's "Walk to Cure Diabetes."
The Black Eyed Peas
Black Eyed Peas members will.i.am, Fergie, Taboo, and apl.de.ap created the Peapod Foundation to encourage social change by uniting people, especially children, through the universal language of music and recently dedicated their video "Just Can't Get Enough" to victims of the Japanese Tsunami and added a link to the Red Cross at the end of the video urging people to donate to the relief efforts.
The other “big award”
Here are the 5 young people who have the chance to win the $100,000 grand prize at this year's Do Something Awards. Vote for your favorite here now!
Taryn Guerrero Davis, 25, Buda, TX
The American Widow Project
When she was just 21, Taryn received devastating news: Her husband, Corporal Michael Davis, had been killed in Iraq. While her family provided emotional support, she still felt lost and alone. When her Google search for “widow” turned up the result: “Do you mean window?” she knew she had to take action. Taryn created The American Widow Project to provide resources to the 3,000+ other women around the country whose husbands have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. This national movement has served and united over 700 widows so far, using peer-to-peer retreats, counseling, and virtual tools.
David Schwartz, 25, Providence, RI
The Real Food Challenge
David grew up in a low-income neighborhood where the school food was so bad that he and his friends would often go all day without eating and spend whatever little money they had on fast food after the last bell rang. When his family later moved to a nearby affluent suburb, he was shocked by the disparities between his two communities—how access to healthy foods in the inner city was so devastatingly low, and the diabetes rates so high. David created The Real Food Challenge to shift $1 billion of college food purchases toward local, sustainable, humane and fair trade sources by 2020. To date, over 35,000 students have taken part, and David and his team have trained over 1,700 student leaders at over 300 schools, all working together to build a healthy, fair, and green food economy.
Sarah Cronk, 18, Bettendorf, IA
The Sparkle Effect
Sarah watched her older brother Charlie struggle to fit in during high school because of his disabilities. He was depressed and anxious, until the captain of the swim team invited him to join. Suddenly, the cool kids welcomed him, and he found a new group of friends. Inspired by Charlie, Sarah co-founded the first high school-based inclusive cheerleading squad in the nation. Today, The Sparkle Effect has generated 26 squads in 15 states and South Africa, encouraging a culture of acceptance in every community.
Mark Kabban, 23, San Diego, CA
YALLA (Youth And Leaders Living Actively)
Mark is familiar with the linguistic, financial, and educational struggles that immigrants face because of his own family’s experience coming to the United States from war-torn Lebanon. He realized the power of sports and education after earning a college athletic scholarship, and established YALLA to empower immigrant families and their children, using soccer and art to help them develop the knowledge and confidence to pursue their goals. In 2010 YALLA provided over 150 refugee children with soccer scholarships, in addition to offering tutoring programs and community service opportunities, providing a full-rounded holistic program for refugee youth and their families.
Adam Lowy, 25, Neptune, NJ
Move for Hunger
Adam’s great-grandfather started a moving company over 90 years ago, and in working with his family, Adam has seen firsthand the amount of food that people throw away when they move. He recognized the potential of this wasted food and founded Move for Hunger, which works with moving companies to strengthen our nation’s food banks. Move for Hunger currently works with 130 moving companies across 32 states and has collected 150,000 pounds of food for food banks.

Leila & Sauli in background
Getting the expected out of the way, Justin Bieber won the DoSomething Music Artist Award.
I’m still just flat out surprised that Adam even got nominated because of the fan write-ins. I really believed that was impossible to accomplish and posted my belief that it was quixotic for a couple of weeks. I am so glad I was wrong on that one – and very impressed by the passion of Adam fans!!
That said, Adam looked fierce last night, got of great spot on the show, and apparently an excellent introduction. Can’t wait to watch it all on the 18th!
