Contest Information for Songwriters

Welcome to our 2010 "Show Me the Music" songwriting contest.  This contest is all about giving you, the songwriter, a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Wouldn’t it be extraordinary to work with the same Nashville “A” session studio musicians that are on today’s #1 albums?  How about an all expense paid trip to Music City- Nashville, TN?  With over $10,000 worth of promotional marketing for the Grand Prize Winner, this contest could be the start of YOUR career!

Our winner will not get free guitar picks and strings that are quickly lost or broken, or feel-good “how to write music” books to cuddle up with at night.  We are here to provide the experience of a lifetime! Bring the talent, and we’ll bring the tools.

This year we’ve lined up some truly amazing sponsors. The winning song will be recorded at Omni Sound Studios, located right on Music Row. Omni Sound Studios has a history of working on projects for Warner Bros., Sony Music, BMG, Capitol Records and many Independent labels.

INDIEPOWER.com is providing their Advanced Worldwide Campaign to the Grand Prize Winner. (Click here for details.)  At “Show Me the Music,” we introduce the songwriters to companies that will jump start their careers in the music industry.  Music has gone digital, and that is what our sponsors specialize in.  Please visit our sponsors' websites for more details!

When you arrive in Nashville, you’ll need a little time to take in the scenery. With two nights accommodations you’ll have plenty of time outside of the studio work to take in some of Music City’s sights and sounds. Take a stroll down Broadway and listen to local artists, or take a tour through the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Winner will arrive at the studio, meet with the musicians, and start working on turning the winning song into a radio- ready hit!  Then it’s time to record.  The Winner will be completely involved in all aspects of the studio production!  This is the perfect opportunity to watch, listen, and learn from the very ones who take the lead in making today’s #1 songs.

Get those songs ready and… "Show Me the Music!"
