In celebration of Avon's 125th anniversary in 2011, Avon Products has launched its first-ever global singing talent search for women, and songwriting competition for women and men called Avon Voices, which will be running in more than 60 countries.
Avon Philippines President and General Manager Mike D. Gudgin formally opened the competition during the press launch last December 2, 2010 at the Little Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Women at least 18 years old are invited to participate in the online Singing Talent Search by choosing a song from the website and uploading a submission video from December 1, 2010 until February 13, 2011 at www.AvonVoices.com.
