BLIND CITIZENS AUSTRALIA – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE




Blind Citizens Australia Announces New Horizons Song Competition Winner!

Blind Citizens Australia (BCA), the national peak body for people who are blind
or vision impaired, is pleased to announce the winner of a competition to
create a new theme song for the organisation’s national radio program, New
Horizons.

Steve Richardson, from Underwood QLD, has written the winning song entitled
“Who We Want To Be”.

“We wanted to create a song which was written, recorded and produced entirely
by people who are blind or vision impaired so that we could foster a sense of
empowerment among our members,” BCA president Emma Bennison said. “The new song
sums up the importance of BCA to people who are blind or vision impaired and
who face daily challenges in order to fulfil their dreams, goals and
aspirations.”

“It’s wonderful to see the enthusiasm demonstrated by people who are blind or
vision impaired in embracing this idea,” said BCA CEO Leah van Poppel.
“Projects like this bring our community together to demonstrate their talents
to each other and our broader society.”

The song will be recorded and produced at Sparrowsound Studios, a facility
owned and operated by Steve Sparrow, who is blind and who is an acclaimed
singer and songwriter in his own right. BCA aims to have the song featured as
the new theme for its national weekly radio program, “New Horizons”, by March
2016. “New Horizons” can be heard through the RPH radio network and on selected
community radio stations throughout Australia. It is also available on Blind
Citizens Australia’s website at www.bca.org.au, and can be downloaded via
podcast feed.
