Annie Lennox, Eurythmics
“Eco–Anthem is a timely initiative, calling upon all songwriters to create a simple, inspiring anthem that everyone can sing to express love and reverence for Nature, Humanity, and Future Generations. I love this idea and am really curious to hear the winning Eco–Anthem!”
Mick Jones, The Clash
“I am pleased to endorse this international competition. The world needs uplifting messages, and there is no better way to present them than as songs that people may want to sing together. I am looking forward to listening to the songs that emerge from this Eco–Anthem competition.”
