COMMONWEALTH SONG CONTEST - FREE ENTRY
The Commonwealth Song Contest is in Beta in 2018 and we are working with the organizers to provide free entries to UKSC entrants. If you are from one of the 53 Commonwealth nations your entry will automatically take part in the CSC selections. |
There are 20 winners (one for each of the 20 Song Categories) and there are Finalist, Semi Finalist, Commended Entry and Special Mention award winners in every category - see the Prizes Page for full details of this year's prizes. Everyone who enters has their songs examined and rated by industry professionals and everyone receives song pitching opportunities and songwriting courses at SongU worth US$50. Every songwriter is given the judges score for each song and a UKSC Certificate for each song entered. This is a genuine chance for all songwriters to be noticed by the music industry in London and to have their songs judged by industry professionals. No other contest works harder or provides more opportunities to the songwriters who enter.
Many entrants have been noticed and promoted through the contest and have received royalty earning radio play and many more have been featured in the press, in radio interviews and on prime time television around the world. Many entrants have been published, signed or produced, by top industry figures who follow this event closely looking for new talent - Simon Cowell for example signed one of the winners. In the words of Channel 4 Television: "The UK Songwriting Contest does what it says on the tin! This is a real chance for new songwriters to break into the music business". |
