Participants in Denmark's AkademikerPension have helped the pension fund to come up with a song to match its new identity.
The 128 billion Danish kroner ($20.1 billion) Gentofte-based pension fund, known as MP Pension until Sept. 1, launched a competition challenging participants to write verses for a new melody. The tune was composed by musician Nicholas Findsen, according to the pension fund's website.
Forty-six participants entered the competition and were judged by Annika Aakjaer, a singer and songwriter, and Mathias Hammer, a pianist and radio and television host.
The main winner was awarded an electric bicycle, while second and third places won Champagne and chocolate.
The song is set to be recorded this month, with the finished version available later on the pension fund's website. If you feel like having a go, check out the melody and sheet music at https://akademikerpension.dk/skrivensang/noder-og-melodi.
A sneak peek at the song and commentary on the process (in Danish) can be found on AkademikerPension's website at https://akademiker pension.dk/nyheder/vinderne-af-sangkonkurrencen-er-fundet.
