Songwriting and lyric-writing contests
have always provided songwriters and
lyricists with a great way to earn good
money, get discovered, and get their
start in the music business. Many
songwriting contests are judged by
record company executives and talent
agents, and winners often earn cash,
prizes and a songwriting contract.
Even songwriters who don't win still
have the opportunity to impress the
judges with their songwriting, and
which could help lead to getting
discovered. Many talent agents are
always looking for new talent, and
they know that songwriting, poetry
and lyric contests are a great place
to discover new talent and aspiring
songwriters and lyricists.
There are no real "inside secrets" to
winning songwriting or lyric contests.
The winning songs, poems & lyrics
are generally the ones that the judges
think are the best, and the ones that
are most-deserving of a prize or a
recording contract. Depending on
the contest, the "best" could mean
the song with the most hit potential,
the one with catchiest melody, or the
song with the best lyrics. Most
songwriting & lyric contests have a
category for best ballad, country song,
R&B song, best rap, and several other



categories. So be sure to check out
the details and rules of current song
writing contests, and look over the
contest guidelines, categories, prizes
and other important details for each
contest you'd like to enter. Then, you
can confidently enter your songs,
poems and lyrics in the songwriting
contests that you feel you have the
best chances of winning.
