Avon Voices is believed to be the largest and most expansive global online singing competition ever held. 178 women were flown over 1,000,000 miles to 1 of 6 major world cities over the course of the competition. Over 2,500,000 votes were cast online throughout the duration of the program. The Avon Voices website, the first ever website to simultaneously push in 37 languages, was visited by fans in over 213 countries and territories. Controversy
On November 3, 2011, Avon issued a formal press release   regarding the selection of the winners. The press release stated that "as part of the winnings, Selena (Gittens) and Evelina (Anusauskaite) will record a fully produced album that will be sold through Avon distribution channels in select markets and a portion of the proceeds from the anthem sale in 2012 will go to the Avon Foundation for Women." At present, the album has yet to be distributed or sold. References
