SINGout4JUSTICE 2023
In the 2023 SINGout4JUSTICE competition, we expanded the participation to include our primary schools. Additionally, we shifted our focus from the usual emphasis on original compositions, and allowed students to take the stage and perform their favourite songs, each carrying powerful messages of justice and peace.
Whether performing solo, collaborating with friends, or involving the entire class, students had the freedom to express themselves in their unique ways. Our key goal was to offer young people an opportunity to showcase their talents, amplify their voices, and truly make a positive impact. Although this year's competition has concluded, the memories and resonating messages of social justice and peace will continue to inspire us.
Congratulations to all the participants of the 2023 SINGout4JUSTICE competition!
The judges were truly impressed by the talent, the high level of quality, and the wide array of performances.
Now, with great pleasure, we announce the winners of the 2023 competition.
