November Winners Announcement
*October winners can be found HERE
*December winners should be announced the first week of February.
November's winners and finalists include songwriters from England, Australia, Korea, Sweden, Ireland, Bulgaria, The
United States, Nigeria, Scotland, England, Iceland, Denmark, and Canada. If you were not selected in the top 5 of your category you can still
enter the songwriting contest in another month. Some of November'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 November 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 Christian/Gospel
and the Folk winners recorded just vocals and guitar). The winners are picked by songwriting alone.
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 once the December winners are announced. The top 5 winners/finalists from each category will
have their material submitted to labels, publishers, and more!
