Composers — or just enthusiastic young people — still have time to submit a song to be used at World Youth Day in Madrid Aug. 16-21.

By going to the World Youth Day site or clicking on a special site, musicians can enter a song of up to three minutes.

World Youth Day officials started the contest when they discovered the official hymn was not very popular.
