Open call: Brand Song Remix Campaign competition in Namibia

The competition is open to all Namibian artists, whether as solo, duos, groups, or other creative formations. Any genre, style and influence is welcome. The competition seeks to celebrate Namibian creativity by encouraging artists to rework the bank’s official brand song and engage the public through social media.

Artists are expected to remix Bank Windhoek’s official brand song, ‘For the Sake of Love’, which was originally composed and performed by music producer Ponti Dikuua during the bank’s brand campaign launch last year.

Winners will be determined through public voting, with the results based on the total number of views across Bank Windhoek’s social media platforms.

The prizes are as follows:

• First place: N$70 000 (about $3 800)
• Second Place: N$50 000
• Third Place: N$30 000
