Hello. I am Steven Prasinos, who wrote “The Duck in the Truck” which is a finalist this year in your children’s category. I am thrilled and honored and will do my best to make the May 2 date, depending of course on the state of the pandemic. One question: I was notified via a friend on Facebook but not directly through you to the best of my knowledge. I wonder if my contact information is correct or if notifications have simply not gone out yet? My correct email is below.
Thanks so much,
This has made my day!
Is the songwriters showcase still on for May 2?
Ken,
Just sent out email saying we needed to cancel it. Sorry to have to do that, but really no choice. Stay safe!
Hi Sue,
My name is Jess Simonelli and I was one of the finalists in the competition. Sorry to hear the event was cancelled, but of course I completely understand given the circumstances. I did want to ask, will we find out what place we won? I haven’t gotten any emails so I’m not sure if my contact info is correct. Let me know and thanks!
Jess,
I’m sorry I haven’t gotten this out yet. I am working on it now and hope to have it out by end of today.
Sue
