AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

A song contest called "Lend Your Voice to the Voiceless" hopes to raise awareness about crimes committed against journalists in Latin America.

It is organized by the Inter American Press Association IAPA through their Impunity Project, which was founded in 1995 to fight violence against journalists and reduce the impunity that surrounds most of the crimes.

To enter, contestants must upload a one-minute video, either as a singer or songwriter. The contest winner will receive a USD$5,000 prize.

So far, 61 songwriters and 65 performers have entered their videos. You can also vote on the videos, one vote per person per day. Song entries run the gamut of musical styles -- from rap to more traditional ballads.
