Hi Sue. I certainly understand college students are often money-poor. The problem is relatively new nonprofits such as ours struggle for operational funds. So, the question becomes, would songwriters submit to contests if there was something being offered in lieu of money. The hope we had was if we received enough submissions and donations, we could offer some kind of either music-related or monetary gift as an award. The bigger hope was that young songwriters might be attracted to if they would receive bragging rights, plus a demo out of the deal. I know this may be wishful thinking, but that is why I am posting this question - to see if anyone has any additional ideas that might help us be more successful in the future.

Thanks for the post.
Bill
