Music against poverty competition
Music against poverty competition aims at involving young people in the fight against worldwide poverty through concrete actions. Europeans between15-25 years old, willing to make a difference, are asked to submit their own songs on general issue related to development and notably on the eight Millennium Development Goals until September 30.
Music against Poverty Contest is an initiative launched in July by the EC Directorate-General EuropeAid to raise awareness among young Europeans about the issue of development cooperation and the important role played by the EU in this field. Global leaders, together with the EU, already committed themselves to fight poverty through eight specific targets by 2015. Fighting poverty in the world is a major global challenge – we can only succeed by acting together.
We, citizens, should mobilize ourselves to encourage and support these actions: over 1 billion people live in extreme poverty today: they cannot wait! Join the fight!
The highlight of the campaign is the Music against poverty competition that aims at involving young people in the fight against worldwide poverty through concrete actions. Europeans between15-25 years old, willing to make a difference, are asked to submit their own songs on general issue related to development and notably on the eight Millennium Development Goals until September 30.
Contributions will be presented on the website and 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. Do not miss this opportunity!
We now need your help to promote the contest and mobilise young people on the fight against poverty. Anyone can get involved and make a difference by entering the IFightPoverty music contest and submitting a song or by voting for their favourite song on the website and sharing their views on our social network pages:
