song writing contest

December's Songwriting Contest Results

The December 2009 songwriting winners have been announced. The top songwriters were from The United States,
Australia, Mexico, Sweden, India, The Uni
ted Kindgom, Norway, Germany, and Italy. 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.
Over forty percent of
the songs that placed as Winners or Finalists did so with simple 'vocal/piano' or 'vocal/acoustic guitar' recordings.
A special congratulations to Carol Frasier who placed as a 'Finalist' in both the 'Country' and 'Folk' categories.
