Hello Broadjam,
Last week we launched the third annual 6-Pack Songwriting Competition. This year we are lucky to have over $70,000 in prizes to award, thanks to our generous sponsors. The Grand Prize Winner will be flying to the ASCAP EXPO next spring, thanks to a valuable contribution from ASCAP. Two other major sponsors, Sony and IK Multimedia, have generously provided over $10,000 in software for the winners. Please view the complete sponsor and prize list.
Liz Miller has won the past two 6-Pack Competitions. She is a brilliant and versatile writer who is getting lots of attention from publishers. Last year, Bobby Caputo, a great songwriter from Oregon, finished second and nearly dethroned Liz. In third was another excellent composer from Costa Rica, Toby Tune. Richard Zeier was fourth and Victor Sabattini was fifth.
For this year’s six songwriting challenges, we are asking for Dance, Emotional and Inspired songs. Those are the easy categories. Then we need a song about any location in the world (a city, a mountain, a kitchen, etc.). So if you have written a “New York, New York”, “Hotel California” or your own “Shanty Song”, get it ready!
After that, we’re requesting an a capella song. This can be a solo vocal, a rap, a four-part vocal harmony or a spoken word. It just cannot have any instruments accompanying the vocals.
To top it off, we’re really going to challenge you. A while back, we invited our members to deliver their best instrumentals and we picked the top five. It’s your job to write the words and lay the vocal track on one of them. We can’t wait to see how the talented writers of Broadjam interpret the music of their peers.
I just read through the blog from last year’s contest and was reminded of how many skilled songwriters we are fortunate to host here on Broadjam. We are always proud to track your progress as the cream-of-the-crop rises to the top of the competition.
Here’s to another great year and good luck!
-Roy
