October 2004
October's winners and finalists include songwriters from France, Israel, England, USA, Canada, Cypress, Wales, Dominica, Pakistan, Scotland, and Iceland. If you were not selected in the top 5 of your category you can still enter the songwriting contest in another month. Some of October's winners and finalists had initially entered in a previous month. There will be a different set of monthly judges involved each month. This is to ensure that the song selections are not limited to the same judge's opinions throughout the year.
The October songwriting judges have sent Song of the Year their picks and the results are listed below. Vocal ability and production quality was NOT taken into consideration. A full instrumental production is not needed. (The Folk and Christian/Gospel winners recorded just vocals and guitar). The winners are picked by songwriting alone. Songs can also be in any language like this month's Pop Winning song in Spanish "Di todo lo que quieras".
The 1st place songwriting winner in each category will go on to compete against the other 1st place songwriting monthly winners in their respective category and then those yearly winners will compete for the Grand Prize at the end of the year. The top 5 finalists from each category will have their material submitted to labels, publishers, and more!
