Be empowered! Avon Voices is inviting people everywhere to
join a worldwide movement that unites and inspires through the
universal language of music. Women around the world are
making their voices count by telling their stories, sharing their
dreams, and showcasing their talents at www.avonvoices.com.
It's easier than you think. Through February 13, 2011, women can sing out on a
30-second video clip from the approved song list at
www.avonvoices.com and be a part of a global movement. Talented
finalists of the year-long program will travel to exciting
destinations such as Hong Kong,
Hollywood, Rio de Janeiro, New
York, Paris and
Nashville. With that comes
professional coaching, Avon
makeovers and studio time for performance videos.
Avon Voices is the company's first-ever global online singing
talent search for women and songwriting competition for men and
women in celebration of its 125th Anniversary. At the
conclusion of the program, Diane
Warren will be providing an anthem to be recorded by up to
10 global finalists alongside many of Avon Voices celebrity judges.
The anthem will debut live at the Avon Foundation for Women
Annual Awards Gala, scheduled for Fall 2011 in New York City.
This moving anthem, as well as other Avon Voices recordings,
will be available for purchase in certain countries, and a
percentage of your purchase will help advance the Avon Foundation
for Women's global campaign to end violence against women and
