Then, at the end of ISC, the winner from each month will go head-to-head in an online public vote, and the winner will win lots of cool prizes and mega promotion!
The earlier you enter and the more songs you enter each month, the better your chances are of being picked, so enter your songs now. ISC will definitely Crank Your Cred!
ISC gives away over $150,000 in cash and prizes including a $25,000 cash prize to the Overall Grand Prize winner! This is an excellent opportunity for songwriters, artists, and bands that are looking to gain exposure in the music industry.
ISC is the premier international songwriting competition in the world. ISC offers more categories, the largest cash Grand Prize, more international winners, and has the most prestigious judges of any songwriting competition. Renowned for its high caliber of judges, ISC offers you the chance to have your music heard by some of the most high-profile and influential figures in the music industry, from iconic artists to record label presidents! You may submit as many songs as desired in each category or enter the same song in more than one category.
To enter by email, use the entry form posted on our blog. To enter by mail or online, visit www.songwritingcompetition.com
* NOTE: All songs entered from your MySpace page need to remain on your MySpace page until finalists are announced (the end of February, 2011) so that ISC has access to the songs. Also, if your profile is private, you need to add ISC as a friend :) (myspace.com/isc). It is the entrant's responsibility to make sure the songs are playable. If your song has lyrics please add them to your profile so they may be viewed. If your song becomes a finalist, it will be required that you email ISC an mp3 of the song to be sent to the judges.
Go to www.songwritingcompetition.com to find more details. Or if you'd like to enter songs that are not on your MySpace page, you can enter online at:
"There you are, sitting on your couch, trying to find the remote inside a giant tub of buttered popcorn, hoping that someone will magically bring you another beer from the fridge. But then—a revelation! Inspiration invades your brain with an unprecedented force, and you bound up from your sedate lifestyle to grab a pen and paper. Ten minutes later, you have composed a song of unspeakable brilliance. A true work of genius..."
"If ambushing your favorite bands with UPS'd cassettes and CD-Rs tossed on stage hasn't gotten your band noticed yet, the 2006 International Songwriting Competition should be right up your alley. Brian Wilson, Tom Waits, Robert Smith, Isaac Brock, and more are all judging the contest. Hell, the ISC is parked in your alley giving away free ice cream."
