Who can enter?

Must be an independent songwriter to enter - with less than $10,000 in combined album sales and streaming revenue in your career.

Enter up to 10 songs. Each song requires an entry fee. All songs are heard and critiqued by the judge of your genre - we don't use song screeners like the "big contests."

What our Judges critique (you receive a score and written feedback for each area below):

- Originality (Does the lyric feature a unique "big idea," conveyed in a fresh way?)

- Song Structure (Is there a clear overall form to the lyric that will "marry up" well to a powerful, unified composition?)

- Imagery, Metaphor, Symbolism, Alliteration, Rhyme, etc. (Are the lyric's literary devices used effectively to create a strong emotional impact?)

- Hook(s) or Catchiness (Are there aspects of this lyric that will draw in and stick with listeners?)

- Singability (Level of which you think these lyrics can move beyond the written page and be sung or vocalized in a recorded/performed song).

- Overall Impact and "Wow-Factor"
