Summary
The 4th Annual Williamsburg Live Songwriter Competition (WLSC2007) is both a songwriting and live event competition that began in 2003. The first prize is $4,000 and all finalists will be featured in a compilation CD to be released by JezebelMusic.com, a New York-based music talent and promotion company.
Sponsored by Sam Ash Music Stores, the WLSC2007 is open to amateur and
professional songwriters who have sold less than 250,000 CD units over the
past five years. Entrants must submit one original song, five minutes in length or less. Entrants must be the singer of their own original song both on the submitted recording and for the live competition.
You don't need a professional recording. Entries will be judged on originality, music and melody, composition and lyrics (when applicable).
150 contestants will be chosen to play in the Live Competition that will occur in New York City during eight consecutive nights of music at eight different venues: November 3-10, 2007.
Judges at the live competition will come from BMI, Atlantic, Columbia, and other notable and independent record labels, journalists, and musicians. Over 1,000 people will attend the live performances.
Besides all the exposure and potential industry contacts, WLSC awards the following cash prizes:
- 1st prize: $4000
