Maria Calfa-DePaul

Hi Maria,

This is Kelly with the Song of the Year songwriting contest (www.songoftheyear.com). As you may know, we had posted the Winner's and Finalist's results from the previous contest on our website earlier this year. However it has come to my attention that a few writers who received the "Semi Finalist" placement in the contest may not have received their notification. This is the reason I am contacting you today. Please disregard this email if you have already received this information.

Even though your material did not place as a Winner or Finalist, you still did incredibly well in the contest. You had an entry that received the "Semi Finalist" placement as listed on your personalized placement page at http://www.songoftheyear.com/placements/MariaCalfaDePaul.html .

Your personalized placement page has been created for you so that you can reference your songwriting accomplishment from your website, press kit, biography, promotional material, etc..... It will remain online for years to come.

The "Semi-Finalist" placement is the highest placement next only to the one winner and four finalists from each category. Great job and congratulations on your songwriting placement!

Kelly

Maria Calfa-Depaul - "Silent Prayer"

My name is Carrie with the Song of the Year songwriting contest (http://www.songoftheyear.com) . I wanted to follow up with you regarding the material you submitted into the previous song competition. Even though your material did not place as a Winner or Finalist, "Silent Prayer" did extremely well in the contest as it received the "Runner Up" placement in the contest. The Runner Up placement shows that the song received extremely high scores and was found to be competitive with the winning songs. Only the top writers receive this placement.

We have created a "Personalized Page" for you that honors your songwriting placement at http://www.songoftheyear.com/results/mariacalfa-depaul.html
You can refer to the page from your website, press kit, biography, promotional material, etc..... Your "Personalized Page" will remain online for years to come so that you can utilize it as a reference to your songwriting accomplishment.

Song of the Year is currently accepting entries into the final songwriting contest of 2010. We are excited to add many new judges including representatives from Universal Records, Warner Music, and EMI Publishing. Additionally, we have increased the prize packages and now have the "Get A Video Of Your Song" opportunity in the current contest.

Placing in the previous contest does not limit your chances of winning the current contest with either the same material or new material. We had seven songwriters who did not place with previous entries but this time received Winner or Finalist placements with the same songs. This is possible because we maintain a different set of judges in every competition. In the current contest we have some returning featured judges however over 70% of the judges are new.

Congratulations on your great songwriting and thank you for taking part in the Song of the Year contest.

Carrie - Song of the Year
