This special call is for a romantic light tune for the Love River, which will play during the Kaohsiung Lantern Festival, complementing the river’s romantic ambiance with beautiful melodies. The “Water Lantern Love Song” and “Water Lantern Blessing Tune” composition contests will each select one winning song. The “Water Lantern Love Song” should be presented with lyrics, melody, and vocal performance—solo, duet, or chorus are all acceptable—and the prize is NT$30,000. The “Water Lantern Blessing Tune” will focus on an instrumental melody, with a prize of NT$20,000.
