Our judges are : Mike Gormley, LAPD Mgmt. Theme again is “Inspiration.” We also have a "Lyric/Poem" section, again with any subject that has an inspirational slant. This year we have a “Indie Music Video” category (open to any artist/band who is not signed to a major label). These highly talented people have one thing in common, they all love and respect a great song. They have lived, breathed and worked in the industry for many years and have multi-awards to show for it. Your music will truly be in front of some “golden ears.” We have assembled some of the most respected musical authorities in the business to judge the contest. It doesn’t mean that production isn’t important but a great song doesn’t need a lot of production and no production can save a less than great song. We can hear through a less than stellar performance or production, it’s originality, melody and lyrics –the meat and bones- that we are listening for. Production and performance aren’t a consideration. They can be ballads but they should have an element of hope or redemption in the storyline, to fit the theme. This year’s theme is “Inspiration.” We are looking for songs, music videos and lyrics that inspire, think (new beginnings, second chances, starting over), etc.

Our contest is open to writers all around the world, from all levels of experience. Have you written the next hit? Well we want to hear it! International Songwriters Day (April 9), would like to invite you to our fourth year of the “International Songwriters Day Song Contest” to once again, help kick off this special day.
