Song writing Competition

Here is a fun way to contribute!http://www.caritas.org.nz/schools/singout4justice

The theme for the 2014 Singout4Justice song writing competition is Open your eyes and see the need.

Caritas works for a world that is free of poverty and injustice. Our theme for 2014 invites young people to consider ways their song can express empathy for people in need. We want to hear songs that suggest we take more notice of how we might help change things to improve the lives of people who struggle with poverty, oppression, injustice or hopelessness.

This is Caritas' fifth Singout4Justice competition. There are two student categories: Year 7-10 and Year 11-13. There will be an overall winner for each level. The two winning song writers will each receive a music voucher to the value of $400, and a Caritas Gifts vouchers to the value of $100.

Entries are due by 5pm on Wednesday 16 April 2014. The songs will be judged by Fr Chris Skinner and the winners will be announced on Friday 23 May 2014.
