Levi's music contest next month

JAKARTA (JP): High school students from several major cities
will once again compete in the 1999 Levi's Music Brawl contest
for cash prizes totaling Rp 14.5 million, trophies and gifts from
the sponsors.

For the first time, well-known clothes producer PT Levi
Strauss Indonesia is cooperating with the Rotaract Club Jakarta
Metropolitan to organize its third music contest, which will be
held at Bengkel Nightpark discotheque in South Jakarta on Nov.
27.

The Rotaract Club Jakarta Metropolitan, a division of the
Rotary Club specializing in youth development, will help the
clothes producer by donating Rp 2,000 (25 U.S. cents) from every
ticket sold to a fund to sponsor music development for one year
at three schools which win the contest.

Participants of the contest come from Jakarta, Bogor,
Tangerang, Bekasi, Bandung, Semarang and Surabaya.

According to Levi's commercial manager, Iwan Wananda, the
organizers, starting this year, will support youths in their
commitment and interest in music.

He said this year's contest would be called "Ini Musik Gua"
(This Is My Music), in which students would be required to
perform their own creations.

"The young generation has to think about their originality and
not only their freedom," he added. (01)
