Although this contest is called the UK Songwriting Contest it is open to everyone from around the world. The International nature of this contest makes it a very good opportunity for songwriters to enter their music and get it heard. There are 10 genres and Country Music is one of the specific categories for the contest. Another very good attribute of this contest for country music songwriters is that they only judge the songwriting and do not take off for the production quality or the performance of the song. This allows new country music songwriters to enter music and be on even footing. It also means you don’t have to spend a lot of money on professional recording or top notch performers to have a chance to win.

Perhaps the best part of this contest is that everyone who enters, no matter how good or bad they do will receive a song writing certificate to prove participation in the contest plus the full judges scoring card and how they came to their conclusion about your song. As a bonus everyone who enters will receive a $50 (US) membership to SongU.com where you will get up to five free lessons and learn from the masters of songwriting.  The winner of the contest will have a chance for mentoring, recording and a production by Simon Ellis and receive personal guidance from Richard Niles. Your song will also get free copyright registration and a chance to be heard and discovered by the industries top professionals. This is an awesome opportunity.
