I'm sure it is a take on ASCAP's song of the year, which is real. I tracked down their bogus ISP in Texas once, but it's probably well moved to a Caribbean Island by now.

If anyone finds these sods, whip them hard with every internet hack tool you have.

Notice there is no defence, which is what a legit person would do ? I wonder why ?

Years ago, I think it was 2003, before they cloaked their domain, i did a "who is" search on it, and the contact info was a Las Vegas p.o. box.

That ought to tell you something right there. Anyway, I entered it three times, and firt time I got 'honorable mention", the next time I got 'runner up' and the third time I won a higher award than that. turns out, EVERYONE wins something, this is not a contest. I had a friend enter with the most terrible song we could come up with, and he got a "runner up' with it. This is, indeed, a scam

they only give big bucks to the winner, who is never a real person, so they don't pay out anything.
