Lyric Only Submissions
We are seeking lyrics to compete in the Song of the Year song and lyric writing contest. Traditionally,
song contests have focused on musical works however we recognize the significance and power of lyrics and poems without the use of music. The literary art developed by lyricists
and poets has
continually influenced culture. We recognize the importance of this influence in
society and pop culture therefore we are allowing you to submit your poems or lyrics into this year's Song of the
Year Contest in the "Lyric Only" category.
The Song of the Year grand prize winner will receive $50,000 of cash and all of the winners and finalists in
each category will have their material sent to an influential panel of judges. The "Lyric Only" winner will
compete along
side the music winners to determine the "Song of the Year". The "Lyric Only" winner
will have
an equal chance of winning the grand prizes. The 2007 "2nd Place Winner", 2006 "3rd Place Winner",
and
the 2005/2009 "1st Place Grand Prize" yearly winners were "Lyric Only" entries!
