Summary

NCSC Song Contest improves the odds for indie songwriters to win over $6000 in prizes and cash!


Emerging songwriters don't have to compete with writers who've already had major-label recordings. That means if you're looking for your first big break, you have a far better chance of winning and getting recognized.


Only 250 two-song submissions are allowed in the 11th Annual North Carolina Songwriters Co-op Songwriting contest.


  • 3 Top Winners
  • 5 Finalists
