There is no denying that the pandemic has affected us in so many ways, especially with the lockdown; people were forced to stop doing the things we loved the most, such as traveling and hanging out with our loved ones. But in these trying times, there is one thing that never fails to change our mood—music.

Grand Prize Winner will receive a Lumina home

But behind the music we love (and soon we’ll love) are people who made an effort to create a song meant to be the soundtrack of our lives. And what better way to reward a genius mind than with a brand new house and lot?

Lumina Homes to award house and lot in Himig 11th Edition.

That’s right! Lumina Homes is giving away a brand new house and lot to the winning song composer on ABS-CBN Music’s “Himig 11th Edition.” The Grand Finals of Himig will be held on March 21 via live streaming.

What is Himig 11th Edition?

Formerly known as Himig Handog, Himig 11th Edition is a worldwide search for the best OPM (Original Pilipino Music) songs and the Philippines' biggest songwriting competition. It started as a competition for Filipino composers of pop and love songs and has evolved into a competition that celebrates every music genre that touches on a wide variety of topics that is relatable to everyone.

Over the years, the Himig Handog Songwriting Competitions have shaped the Philippine entertainment industry. Many songs from the competition were used as the theme songs of movies and television shows and used in commercials for radio and television. Many songwriters from the competition have been given their breaks; the most notable was then amateur composer Jonathan Manalo, who is now a multi-awarded composer and producer of Star Records.
