The Hollow’s Spencer Townsend – singer / songwriter. Awesome!
Only 6 Weeks Left to Enter! COMBO’s 6th Annual Songwriting Contest Has Started The Colorado Music Business Organization announces their Sixth Annual Songwriting Contest! Do you have a song you have written and ten ($10) dollars that may help YOU out and definitely will help COMBO? Read on because this contest is for YOU!! Per previous years, there will be NO CA$H prizes for the high-scoring songs – just the opportunity for your song to be heard by people looking for songs for commercials, movies, television, sports, and more! Winning songs will be submitted to *genuine music business companies*.
Contest staff will put the Top Scoring songs on a compilation CD and hand deliver to publishers, record companies, music supervisors, and others – that have agreed beforehand to accept them – along with a cover letter telling a little about COMBO, along with lyric sheets for each of the songs. Winners will also receive one copy of the compilation CD for their use.
Please submit Songs with Lyric Sheets as attachments to songcontest@coloradomusic.org in MP3 format so that contest staff may forward to each judge to listen to from the privacy of their own homes. Instrumentals are welcomed. Movies, television shows, and commercials LOVE instrumentals! Also, make sure that the WRITER(S) of the song(s) are listed – not the people who played on the recording (i.e., see our Lyrics section where the real names of the guys in U2 are listed as the writers, not pseudonyms). Any songs submitted should have been registered for copyright before sending them to COMBO.
Once you have submitted your song(s) and lyric sheet(s), please mail your $10 payment for each song to COMBO, P.O. Box 18186, Denver, CO 80218. You can also pay thru PayPal through our website, http://www.coloradomusic.org Currently paid COMBO members will be able to enter one song at no charge; paid band members may submit two songs at no charge.
The contest will DEFINITELY END ON AUGUST 1st in order to get the Compilation CDs ready to pass out at the Durango Songwriters Expo in Broomfield at the end of September. This will allow the judges to listen to last-minute entries, the COMBO staff the time to tally the scores, to get the songs mastered, and the CD to be replicated by COMBO’s great supporter CODA-Inc. If you want your CDs fast, accurate, and affordable, CODA in Aurora, CO is the way to go! You can even pick them up yourself if you are in a hurry!
BTW, the Durango Songwriters Expo throws in a “scholarship” to the Expo in Broomfield, CO. Every entrant (individual name) is put into “the hat” and a name is drawn out to win that entry! Last year’s winner of the DSE Entry was Dustin Adams. Previous winners: Gary Dean Smith, Steve Law, Robert Hojoboom, and Amanda Harras – all of whom were able to take advantage of that win!
