Search for global anthem in memory of Beatles member John Lennon
The winner of a global music contest launched in memory of John Lennon will be announced by the mayors of Liverpool and New York later this year.
The Liverpool International Song For Kindness (LSK) contest aims to find an anthem to follow the example of the Lennon masterpiece Imagine, and also support the mental health of musicians and songwriters amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Beatles member Lennon was shot dead outside his New York apartment in 1980 and would have celebrated his 80th birthday this year.
The competition is part of the KIND20 initiative from global charity tuff.earth, which promotes kindness through projects in communities and schools across the world.
The winner, to be revealed on October 9 by the mayors of Liverpool and New York, will have their track produced, mixed, and mastered at Liverpool's Motor Museum Studio, say the organisers.
Liverpool City Council and The Cavern Club are also helping to run the contest, with support from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (Lipa) and Strawberry Field.
