CORNISH YOUNGSTERS WANTED TO HELP MAKE NATIONAL PEACE TRACK
The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) and online youth broadcaster SBTV are calling on bedroom MCs, vocal divas, mix-masters and wannabe rappers to show exactly what they can do by contributing to an online mash-up track to promote peace among young people.
The Peace Mix challenge gives young people aged 16 – 24 a chance to think about what peace means to them and to communicate this through music, beats or lyrics. Winning contributors will be invited to enter the semi-final at the Peace Mix Playoff at the Eden Project on August 16.
Anyone can record their contributions over a skeleton track available at www.peacemix.co.uk. The track is curated by SBTV and inspired by the New Day Foundation (NDF), a group founded by former gang members in Birmingham. After ten years of fighting they have decided to focus on building a more peaceful future in their community and want to encourage others to do the same through the Peace Mix campaign.
The semi-final will take place in The Core at Eden from 7pm -10.30pm and is open to the public. The winning entries will then join BIG, SBTV and NDF at a star-studded gig to reveal the peace anthem at London’s prestigious Roundhouse on 28 August. The track will be officially available to download on International Peace Day on 21 September.
Entries to the competition end on Monday, August 13. The semi-final event at Eden on August 16 is a free event and open to the public on a first come first served basis. Email boxoffice@edenproject.comor call 01726 811972 for details and booking.
