Please send me some info on the 2019 songwriting contest…my sister was a songwriter and so was my Aunt and cousins. My Sister was murdered last year…we used to write some together, but I write every genre nearly imaginable. Someone entered a songwriting contest using my song through the Veterans Affairs Hospital…There were over 70,000 signed and unsigned entries…turns out I won the Lyric version out of all those people. It was several years ago. I was surprized that at that time I was homeless, bit now i’m doing okay but I got offered to fly out to Colorado and perform but was dealing with family issues and could not attend at the time. I would love to enter my songs as well as the songs me and my late siater collaberated on. Please send me some info. I can write nearly everything and have a published novel…but thats enough about me…I have wanted to do this but never knew how. Please contact me back. I would love to see what I am capable of, as well as see what my sister and I could do. I have written alot of songs…I just can’t sing some of the genres I write. Lol Thank you sincerely
Gerald,
Thank you for your interest. I hope you will enter some songs that either just yourself, or you and your sister wrote. I’m so sorry to hear that you lost her. We have the following categories, and you are allowed to enter as many songs in as many categories. It is $25 for the first song and $10 per song after that:
Blues, Pop/Rock,Jazz, Children’s Music, Country, Singer/Songwriter, Religious/Spiritual, 16 & under, Americana/Folk.
We will have the information and links up on January 1, 2019. That’s when you can start submitting.
Good luck!
Sue Martin
Is there any registration fee?

I have written a full-length play with the rock festival Woodstock as a background. It was performed in Cocoa Beach, Fl, after I won a local playwriting contest. My brother and his family live in Bass River. He suggested that I write you . . . do you produce original plays?
What are my chances for entering my play “Fences Down, No-one Taking Tickets” for review with your company? It’s not a musical….more of a reminiscence of Woodstock as seen through the eyes of a deceased Vietnam Vet. Perhaps apropos to the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival.
Thanks for taking the time to answer . .

how do you insure and protect the artists rights to their songs ?
