Avon Voices

Avon Voices culminated in the selection of two singing winners and two winning songwriting songs on November 2, 2011.

The international panel of artists judges included: The two singing winners, Selena Gittens (Canada) and Evelina Anusauskaite (Lithuania), were announced at the annual Avon Foundation for Women Gala on November 2, 2011 in New York City.

The grand-prize-winning songwriting songs, "Step Up" (by Chloe Temtchine and Kyle Kelso) and "We All Fall Down" (by Ilene Angel and Sue Fabisch) were premiered at the Avon Foundation Gala, as well as a new original Avon Voices Anthem, written by Diane Warren, entitled "Be What You Believe."

Avon Voices is believed to be the largest and most expansive global online singing competition ever held.

The press release stated that "as part of the winnings, Selena (Gittens) and Evelina (Anusauskaite) will record a fully produced album that will be sold through Avon distribution channels in select markets and a portion of the proceeds from the anthem sale in 2012 will go to the Avon Foundation for Women."
