Songathon Prompts Songwriters to Write Songs About Social Distancing & Raise Awareness for Covid-19 Relief Efforts (SLP NY, 2018)

Noah Hyams’ Songathon (known for its 24-hour, in-person songwriting competitions) launched the global Songathon Prompt Challenge: an online songwriting contest that prompts songwriters everywhere to write songs about social distancing, to raise awareness for Covid-19 relief efforts. As much as one fifth of the global population has been asked to stay home to slow the spreading of the coronavirus, which has already claimed the lives of over 163,000 people. To help spread the message, songwriters are being challenged to write catchy songs around the central theme ‘distance’. The songwriters’ participation in this competition will help spread awareness and support for GlobalGiving’s Coronavirus Relief Fund which is helping combat the virus worldwide.

Message from Noah: Please share with your songwriter/musician friends!
