A contest for the official song of the World Youth Day 2009 will be held on April 18. Local bands interested in taking part are to write an original song inspired by the theme Pope Benedict XVI recently chose for World Youth Day 2009, which is: 'We have set our hope in the Living God' (1 Tim 4, 10)
The song, which can be written in Maltese or English, is to be submitted to the Diocesan Youth Commission (KDŻ) offices, 492/3, St Joseph High Road, Sta Venera, by March 20.
The contest is part of a wider project named Awakening Asaph.
The contest guidelines, application form and more details on the project are available at www.awakeningasaph.org or e-mail info@awakeningasaph.org.
