International Song For Kindness Contest 2021

To mark the memory of John Lennon on the occasion of his 80th birthday the city of Liverpool is launching a worldwide contest to find another great songwriter to inspire and brighten

his home town as it faces one of the darkest times in its history.

The Liverpool International Song For Kindness Contest aims to find an anthem that will follow the

example of John Lennon’s Imagine and will raise spirits and inspire hope and goodwill as the city plans its

recovery from the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The contest – launched today by Liverpool City Council in association with the kindness charity tuff.earth

and the world-famous Cavern Club – will run for 11 months and will be open to every songwriter and band

on the planet, amateur and professional, “from buskers to Beatles”.

The winning song be chosen by public vote on Facebook, with the most Likes deciding the winner, and it

will be given its premiere performance at The Cavern Club on September 9th 2021. Organisers are

planning for the song to then be performed at every major Liverpool music festival and at other landmark

festivals.

To enter the entirely free contest, songwriters, bands and all musicians around the world are invited to

simply upload a video of themselves performing an appropriate song of their own composition or their

cover of another’s song to the KIND20 page on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tuff.earth/
