Invitation for units to help develop the new, revamped Sing Ontario Sing Challenge!

After receiving feedback from units on Sing Ontario Sing, we have decided to move the Challenge forward in a new and exciting direction! We are inviting units to submit their theme for the 2018/2019 Challenge, as well as a short description of what their vision for the Challenge is.

The selected unit will be responsible for providing a Challenge outline, song list and song sheets. New this year, the selected unit will also be required to provide video or audio recordings of the unit singing the songs from the song list! These will be posted on National’s YouTube channel to provide units across Ontario and Nunavut with inspiration and guidance on how the songs should be sung.

The successful unit will receive funds ($75) from Ontario Council to purchase snacks for their planning and recording session!

What we need to know now:

• Name of unit
• Guider name and email
• Proposed theme and short description of your vision for the Challenge
• Acknowledgement that the selected unit will be responsible for providing a Challenge outline, song sheets and audio or video recordings of the unit performing the songs

Other important details:

• Songs selected will need to follow all copyright laws and be chosen from Guiding songbooks
• The selected unit will be responsible for the equipment and recording of their song performances – one video per song. It doesn’t need to be fancy! A cell phone or device recording is acceptable (provided the lyrics are easy to hear)!
• Any participants in the audio or video recordings must have IR.1s in iMIS.
• The selected unit will have to provide their song sheets, recordings and Challenge outline to the Program Adviser by mid-April.

To submit your proposal, please submit a Sing Ontario Sing Challenge Application form. The deadline for submissions is March 2, 2018.

If you have any questions, please contact the Program Adviser, Elise Sine at program.adviser@guidesontario.org.

Good luck! We look forward to receiving your submissions!
