The sixth annual Great Lakes Songwriting Contest has removed its residency requirements, and reduced its entry fee for the month of May. A longtime favourite among Ontario songwriters (who took several of the top prizes last year), this is the first time songwriters from outside the Great Lakes area can enter. All songwriters receive a free on-line course from SongU.com just for entering. There are no categories or age limits, and no songwriter gives up any rights to his or her song by entering or winning. Eleven songs will be chosen, splitting about $35,000 in prizes. The Grand Prize will be $2,500 cash and the chance to headline the annual Winners' Concert, plus national publicity and various prize packages from the sponsors. Thanks to a partnership with Sonicbids, artists can choose to enter on-line or by mail. The contest opened for entries on May 1, with a reduced entry fee until May 31. The regular deadline is September 1, with an extension until September 15 for Sonicbids entries. The contest is sponsored by Elderly Instruments, Broadjam.com, SongU.com, and Indie-Music.com. Go to http://www.GreatLakesSongs.com for everything you need to enter.

"The special early submission fee is $25 US per song (or $30 Canadian*) if postmarked or submitted electronically on or before May 31, 2009. From June 1 on, the fee is $28 US per song (or $35 Canadian*)."
The fact that this has been posted 14 times today doesn't thrill me.
Personally, I'm not a fan of songwriting contests.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
