Voices For Hope
2011 Winners

CURRENT ENTRY FORMS (by Mail or Online)

The 2011 Voices For Hope final auditions were held on April 30  at the East Hartford Community Cultural Center, East Hartford, CT.     Entries were received from across the Northeast,  and the chosen finalists auditioned live  to win a $500 scholarship and to be a Voices For Hope Ambassador, using the power of popular music to produce positive social action.  The 2011 audition song was "Hope", written by Kay Pere..   The event culminated in an evening concert with all the Finalists joining the LUNCH Ensemble for a Harry Chapin Tribute event.  Below are the finalists, all exceptionally talented.   As far as we are concerned, any young person who gives their time and talent to help others in need is a winner in all the things that count in life.   All  finalists are eligible to take part in special LUNCH recording and performing events.

songs written for them by Bill Pere and Kay Pere)
