AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) launched a music contest to fight impunity surrounding crimes against journalists in the Americas. The contest invites the public to participate as performers, lyricists or composers by posting videos, songs or lyrics on the anti-impunity cause on a newly created website www.impunidad.com/donatuvoz/esp/.

The "Lend Your Voice to the Voiceless" song contest will use social networks to raise awareness of crimes against journalists. The website is already posting promotional music videos made by amateur artists from Brazil, Mexico, the United States and Colombia. The six-month campaign will use Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube to encourage Internet users to join the anti-impunity cause.
