December Winners Announcement
*October winners can be found HERE *November winners can be found HERE
December's winners and finalists include songwriters from Germany, Canada, The United States, Denmark, Ireland, South Africa, Sweden,
Australia, Poland, and Japan. If you were not selected in the top 5 of your category you can still
enter the songwriting contest in another month. Two of the winners/finalists listed below had placed in a previous month. John Sherry was a finalist in April and Jennifer Adan was the July winner. There will be a different set of 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 December 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. (Christina
Ray the Country winner recorded just vocals and guitar). The winners are picked by songwriting alone.
The 1st place December songwriting winners in each category are now competing against the other 1st place songwriting monthly winners in their respective category. One song from each category will move on to compete against the other yearly winners from the other categories for the Grand Prizes. The top 5 winners/finalists from
each category in December's round will
have their material submitted to labels, publishers, and more!
