IMSTA FESTA Los Angeles

IMSTA is proud to introduce the IMSTA FESTA Songwriting Contest conducted and hosted by our partner Broadjam. This contest is an annual affair that will provide aspiring and established songwriters the opportunity to have their creative pieces heard by industry professionals. You can write songs in any genre, with or without lyrics. This is the environment to learn, network and connect with the professionals. Do not miss this opportunity!

All song entries per region will be distilled into a top 3 using Broadjam's blind listening peer ratings mechanism. This competition runs throughout 2015 with four separate regional drawings that are linked to each scheduled IMSTA FESTA. The Top-3 finalists will be judged at a special panel at each IMSTA FESTA. This contest is for the IMSTA FESTA in Los Angeles, CA on May 16th, 2015.
