I've read the instructions several times now and still see no mention of whether or not we need to send lyric sheets in with the song submissions, esp on multi-song DEMOs. In some of the vocals on my song submissions, depending on who's singing, lyrics are difficult to understand, others are audible enough. Lyric sheets are usually required in song contests and would solve this problem. Some songs on the CD are masters and some still in rough demo stage, hope that's OK. Also, I want to make sure I'm a 'member' and not just 'one the mailing list.' sric2@core.com I'm logged in with a password so I guess I'm a member. Reading all these instructions just confuses me! Thanks, and all the best sorting out all these contest submissions!!! Yikes!

We don't require lyrics. If everyone sent lyric sheets in for every song, we'd have 150K pages to sort through and it would be impossible to do. Our screeners/judges/voters don't use lyric sheets when listening... they simply listen as they would to a song on the radio or their CD player or at a concert. If your vocalists are difficult to understand on the demo, keep in mind that is all the listener is going to hear.. unless the garbled lyrics are intentional, you might want to record a cleaner version. The competition in these awards is intensely high. Don't put yourself at a disadvantage by sending in a recording that doesn't present your song well. We did have 1 demo CD score a nomination and 1 rough demo song actually win an award last year, but the odds are against that happening if the recording is bad.
