"Music Against Poverty" Contest

"MUSIC AGAINST POVERTY" CONTEST


The European Commission has launched the "Music Against Poverty" contest, which calls young Europeans between ages 15 and 25 to submit a song expressing support for the fight against poverty in the world.


Each participant will create an original song on the general issue of development, and notably on the eight Millennium Development Goals: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger; Achieve Universal Primary Education; Promote Gender Equality; Reduce Child Mortality; Improve Maternal Health; Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases; Ensure Environmental Sustainability; Develop a Global Partnership for Development.


The music contest is part of the "I fight poverty campaign", dedicated to raise awareness among teenagers about the European Union's action in the field of development cooperation.


The winners - selected through online voting and a jury of music professionals - will be awarded a professional studio recording of their song and will have the opportunity to perform during the European Development Days in December 2010 in Brussels, Belgium.


The song along with information about the participant should be submitted online until September 30, 2010, through the official web page of the contest. (http://www.ifightpoverty.eu/act/music-contest/about)

The selection of the wining participants will be done by online voting, and with the help of a professional jury.There will be two winners, one based on the online voting, and one chosen by the jury. The names of these winners will be released no later than November.
