Bicentennial song competition launched

The National September Celebrations Committee today announced the launch of a competition to choose a patriotic song to be used in the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the Battle of St. George’s Caye. The bicentennial song competition is open, presumably, to both musicians and non-musicians and is being run on the premise that only original compositions are submitted for judging. A panel of local musicians will decide on the winning song on May twenty fourth. Entries must be submitted to the National September Celebrations Committee no later than May fifteenth and the decision of the judges will be final.
