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).
