Attention, songwriters! The deadline for the 2013 Music City Songwriting Competition is less than 48 hours away. This competition ends on February 15, 2014 at Midnight. Good Luck!

The Music City Songwriting Competition is a Nashville-based competition open to amateur songwriters worldwide. Entries will be judged on originality as well as compositional, lyrical, and melodic content; therefore a professional recording is not necessary. Songs are open to the following categories: acoustic, adult contemporary, alternative, Americana, bluegrass, blues, Broadway, cabaret, contemporary Christian, country, folk, funk, jazz, Latin, pop, rock, singer-songwriter, and standards (no instrumental compositions).
