expectations. Everything was handled professionally, the
caliber of judging was impressive and the results were
more than I ever hoped for." —

A QUICK & EASY
SONGWRITING CONTEST GUIDE
Below
is a QUICK & EASY SONG
CONTEST GUIDE to help you decide if the
Great American Song Contest
is the right songwriting contest for you.
Read
the following four items. Choose the answers that most
closely reflect your attitude. Note your preferences between
the (A) and (B) answers, then score 10 points for each
(B) answer you choose.
BIG
CASH PRIZES
(A) I
want a chance to win a Big Cash prize, even if it means
competing with 25,000 or more songs under ruthlessly competitive
conditions.
(B)
I'm less interested in the lure of big cash prizes and
more interested in practical opportunities to get my songs
reviewed and evaluated by helpful and knowledgeable music-industry
pros.
SONGWRITING CONTEST JUDGING PROCESS
(A) I
realize some song contests might not thoroughly review
my songs, but that doesn't bother me.
(B)
I prefer a songwriting contest which guarantees
that every song will be thoroughly considered and respectfully
reviewed.
ENTRY
FEES
(A)
I don't mind paying high entry fees since my only goal
is to win big money.
(B)
I don't want to pay high entry fees just so a few top
winners can get a big cash prize. I prefer less emphasis
on money and more emphasis on actual benefits for all
participating songwriters.
FEEDBACK
& EVALUATIONS
(A) I don't want
to receive feedback on my songs.
(B)
I would like to receive written evaluations on my work
from the contest judges.
