Each month we select one winner and four finalists from each of the ten categories (50 songs per month). Those songs are sent out  to major/minor labels, publishers, entertainment attorneys, music managers, and many other outlets who we have relationships with. These are resources that have agreed to listen to our top songs each month. Monthly winners'/finalists'  information will be distributed accordingly.  Should there be  further interest in your material, our affiliates will contact you directly. At year's end, 12 monthly "winning" songs from each category will be judged by a secondary-judging panel who selects one song to represent each category. These final 10 songs from each category will compete for the honor of "Song of the Year" as well as the yearly prizes. The top song of the year will be determined by the final judging panel.
