Submit your take on an anthem for Mississauga in honour of the City’s 50th Anniversary!

Mississauga Arts Council and Metalworks Studios, and SoundsUnite are jointly sponsoring the Sauga’s 50th Anniversary Anthem Contest.

In 1974, the year of City of Mississauga’s incorporation, the great Country singer-songwriter and Mississauga resident Tommy Hunter wrote and recorded “Mississauga”, a song to celebrate and uplift the newly formed city. 50 years later, the time has come to create an iconic anthem for a new era to celebrate community pride.

On the occasion of Mississauga’s 50th anniversary Mississauga Arts Council, Metalworks Studios, and SoundsUnite are producing a contest to find the best anthem incorporating the word Mississauga and reflecting the spirit and diversity of our dynamic city and its promising future. 

Mississauga-based musicians and songwriters are encouraged to submit their original song for a chance to have their song named “Mississauga’s 50th Anniversary Anthem” and a recording and mixing session at Metalworks Studios.

The jury, composed of established jurors with ties to the Mississauga music community, will determine the winning anthem. The winner will be announced in December 2023, and may be invited to perform the song at an official public celebration of Mississauga’s 50th Anniversary.

EXTENDED – Deadline to submit: Monday, November 13 by 11 AM
