Brussels, 02/07/2010 (Agence Europe) - On Friday 2 July, the European Commission launched a music contest which invites young Europeans aged 15-25 to submit a song expressing support to 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 (MDG). Voting will be online until 31 October 2010. There will be two winners, whose names will be announced in November - one will be chosen after a vote on line, and the other by a panel jury. Winners will receive a professional studio recording of their song and will have the opportunity to perform during the European Development Days, in Brussels in December 2010. Young people aged 15-25 are invited (on socialisation sites and at music festivals) to submit, by internet, until 30 September, a song relating to the fight against poverty.
