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.

For more information (in Spanish) click here.

Photographers who live in St. Petersburg, Russia are invited to submit portraits of their city for a contest.

Called the "Positive and Negative Sides of St. Petersburg," the contest is open to Russian nationals as well as foreigners who live in the city.

Applicants can submit up to five photos reflecting their city in a positive light and five which show it in a negative one. Unedited photos are preferred. The best photos will be published.

The competition is endorsed by the Journalist's Union of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region.
