July's Songwriting Contest Results

The July 2009 songwriting winners have been announced. The top songwriters were from The United States, Malaysia, Norway, The United Kingdom, Israel, Canada, Australia and France. The judging was based on 'songwriting' alone. Vocal ability was not taken into consideration. A full instrumental production of the material was also not taken into consideration. For example, the "Folk" winner placed with a simple acoustic guitar/vocal recording.
