Enter and Win Songwriting and Lyric-Writing Contests
|
Unlike lotteries and sweepstakes, songwriting contests are not decided by luck or by chance. The top prizes – which can often include large cash grand prizes and/or a recording contract – are awarded to the writers of the winning songs, usually decided by a varied panel of qualified judges.
In most cases, songwriting contests are held annually, although a few of the bigger ones are held semi-annually. The judging of each contest will vary from contest to contest, but most songwriting contests usually announce their winners 6 to 8 weeks after the entry deadline has passed. Aside from the benefit of cash prizes, another benefit of entering songwriting contests is that they also provide you with the opportunity to make new and important contacts in the music industry, and help you gain valuable exposure for your songs and your songwriting talent.

Many songwriting contests are judged by key music industry executives, such as A&R (Artist and Repertoire) representatives from record companies, music producers, talent agents, music publishers, top-selling recording artists, and other music industry constituents. These are very valuable contacts that you can make, as this provides with the chance to have your songs heard by industry people whom you wouldn’t otherwise have opportunity to meet or perform for. So in addition to offering cash, prizes and even a possible songwriting contract or recording contract if your song can finish at or near the top in the final judging, songwriting contests can also provide you with the opportunity to get your songs and lyrics seen and heard by record industry insiders, which could lead to other opportunities in songwriting and in the music business.
