What is Song of the Year?
Song of the Year is an international contest encouraging the art and discipline of songwriting. Our primary focus is to find great songwriters while helping them network with professionals in the music industry. Songwriter's submissions are judged by a panel of music professionals. The preliminary-judging staff consists of individuals who have showed leadership in music related fields as well as notable songwriters. Top yearly winners will be judged by an elite-panel of judges consisting of Grammy Award winners as well as individuals from Rolling Stone, ABC television, and more.
Song of the Year is an annual contest that has networked with publishers, labels, musicians, producers, managers, and others in the music industry in search for new talent. Song of the Year understands the many difficulties that musicians, songwriters, and lyricists deal with while trying to establish themselves in their respective field. The contest has been established to assist "up-coming" talent while maintaining a passionate belief in three primary objectives:
1- To encourage the art and discipline of songwriting
2- To network talented songwriters with industry leaders
3- To offer guidance to songwriters through critiques and reviews
