"We hope to see the work of Indonesia this year. I heard that in Indonesia there are many good musicians who are also anti-corruption activist," said Kate Declerck, Jeunesses Musicales International Program Officer, in his statement, Monday, January 3, 2011.
Fair Play Anti-Corruption Youth Voices is a global competition for original songs from bands of young people (18-35 years) with anti-corruption theme. The competition is organized by the Global Youth Anti-Corruption Network, JMI and the World Bank Institute.
According to Declerck, the impact of corruption on society may not appear right in the figures or statements alone. "To understand how corruption really affect the lives of many people, we must listen to their voices."
Declerck explained that the registration for participants will begin on January 10, 2011. Bands worldwide are invited to upload music videos to YouTube and register anticorruption to the competition website, www.anticorruptionmusic.org. The deadline for registration for participants March 20, 2011.
Three bands winner will win a trip to Nairobi, Kenya, to participate in the Global Youth Anti-Corruption Forum and gig both in April 2011. Bands who get the most votes for their video will also receive prizes studio practice session for U.S. $ 2,000. This session will be conducted in a town where the band originated, and is a separate gift from the event in Nairobi. Studio session Band winner will be chosen directly by the public - there will be an online voting system in the Fair Play website.
Fair Play jury will select three bands to perform in Nairobi. Their selection will not be affected by the number of online votes - so the total may be four winners.
Last year's winner is Mafilika, a reggae-rock band from Malawi, I-Voice, hip-hop duo from Palestine, and Katya Emmanuel, the band collaboration of Congo and Kenya. See promotional video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig6iAxyTBH4
