State-run national airline Aeroflot wants its own jingle and is ready to pay musicians 6 million rubles ($160,000) to come up with one.
According to the corresponding tender published on the government's official procurement website, the company needs a short corporate jingle in which the word "Aeroflot" is sung, and which contains short phrases that reflect the attributes of the Aeroflot brand.
The composition must attract people's attention and encourage them to choose to fly with Aeroflot, the requirements attached to the tender say.
Furthermore, the jingle must be catchy but cannot contain any profanity or advertising of products and services not linked to Aeroflot.
Applications will be accepted until Sept. 24, 2014, with the winner of the tender to be announced on Oct. 9, 2014. The jingle must be finished by Dec. 15, 2014.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
