What kind of production/recording is best to present my song? However you choose to present the song, a single instrument and vocal or full blown rhythm section, horns, background vocals, choir and marching band. Our judges are listening for songs, not production style or skill.

Do I have to sing my song? No, get Adele or Sting, Dolly or Garth to sing it if you can. Again, the song is the star.

Will I get a written critique of my song? No. there are plenty of sites that offer that for a few bucks. Because of the sheer volume of entries we do not offer an individual song review. But it’s never a bad idea to get feedback from someone besides your mom.

My song fits several genres. How do I decide which one to enter it in? You know your music best. A great song will find its way no matter what label is put on it. So, choose one and let the song speak for itself.
