YELLOW
RIBBON PROJECT SONGWRITING COMPETITION 2016 CD ¨C "HOPE"
|
|
Hours and hours of training and writing paid off
when these inmates made it to the finals and had the honour of having
their songs recorded by local artistes such as Alemay
Fernandez, Jonathan Ong (Take Two), Farisha Ishak amongst others.
Hope
- was the theme of this the 2016 Yellow Ribbon Songwriting competition
and we hope that after listening to the album, you will be inspired to
give hope to others in need of a second chance.
We
will be selling the CDs at $15 each at our office and also SCORE's
office from May onwards. Watch our Facebook
for updates on the launch date. All proceeds will go to the YRP funds
to help inmates seeking a second chance in life. We appreciate your
support.
With
hope, there's hope. ¡Þ

YELLOW RIBBON PROJECT
SONGWRITING COMPETITION 2017
|
|
Once again we will be heading to Singapore Changi
Prison to provide songwriting courses with our trainer Rai (from Jack
& Rai) along with several other mentors and with this program, we hope to impart songwriting skills onto
participants to encourage putting their experiences and emotions into a
musical story.
This
year's theme is ¨C Beyond Here; where we encourage songwriters to be
forward looking and to write about life and hopes upon release. The
program has been so encouraging that SCORE has requested for it to be
provided to the female participants at their cost. This will be our
virgin voyage into Changi Women Prison. Auditions were held on 6th
and 7th April 2017 and lessons will start in May for those
who have been selected.
Semi-finals
will be held in June to further narrow down participants for the Finale
in July. More updates to come. ¡Þ

ELECTRONIC PAYMENT vs
TRADITIONAL CHEQUES
|
|
In order
to reduce the stress and loss of post-mailed cheques, royalty payments
from 2015 will be made via interbank transfer (where possible).
Hence,
we will be progressively updating member records so that eventually,
there will no longer be a need for members to receive their royalty
cheques in the mail and then find the time to deposit the physical
cheque into their bank account.
Members
who wish to update their bank details, may do so by contacting the
Membership Department at: membership@compass.org.sg.

|
|
In order to improve our
administration processes and accuracy, we are embarking on an ongoing
exercise to collate members¡¯ work registrations, by also requesting for
a copy of the work in either original CD or as an audio MP3 files. For
unpublished works, good quality demo CDs / MP3 files are also
acceptable. ¡Þ
