The following ten songwriters have won their respective category in the songwriting contest. The top songs were determined by "songwriting" alone. Vocal ability was not taken into consideration. A full instrumental production was also not considered. For example, the Folk Winner placed with a simple acoustic guitar and vocal recording. A special congratulations to Jason Brown who placed as both a "Winner" and "Finalist" with two different songs! The Grand Prize Winner will be announced by November 26, 2024.
