Description

In 1998, all authors organized in music rights societies, i.e. musicians from 124 countries all over the world, were invited to "compose original songs inspired by the theme of peace".

The contest announcement was published by all international music rights societies as well as its own internet site and official sites connected with the Jubilee Year 2000.

In a diligent selection process, a high-ranking international jury chose the 22 winning songs from a large number of entries from 60 countries all over the world.

A final concert and a tv broadcast formed part of the official Millenium Jubilee programme. SMT collaborated with UNESCO, UNICEF, Adopt-a-minefield, and with personalities like Hal Uplinger, who was on the organising staff of the famous Live Aid Concert.

Due to unforeseen organisational circumstances the Millenium concert was cancelled. Efforts continued until 2003 when a final attempt to stage it in Hungary failed.

The songs were presented at WOMEX ESSEN 2002
