November's Songwriting Contest Results
The November 2009 songwriting winners have been announced. The top songwriters were from The United States,
The Russian Federation, Italy, Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Norway. 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. Almost sixty percent of the songs that placed as Winners or Finalists did so with simple
'vocal/piano' or 'vocal/acoustic guitar' recordings.
