Passing this on to
musicians who may be interested or know someone who might.
Hi ,
because you and Ottawa Blues, Jazz and
Swing Guide have been so supportive of the International Songwriting Competition
(ISC) in the past, we just want to pass on this press release for you to share
with musicians and songwriters in your reach, to let them know that due to
overwhelming demand, the 2011 ISC deadline has been extended until November 1
2011. There have been additional judges added, and this will be the last chance
to enter the competition.
Thanks again for all of your support with the
competition, and we certainly hope that artists you recommend ISC to become
finalists (and winners) in this year's competition!

With the most high-profile judging panel of any music competition in the
world, ISC offers songwriters and artists the unprecedented opportunity to have
their music heard by iconic recording artists, as well as many major and indie
record label Presidents, A&R executives, producers, music supervisors, and
more. Amateur and professional songwriters are invited to
participate.
ISC gives away more than $150,000 in cash and prizes (shared
among the 68 winners) including an overall Grand Prize consisting of $25,000
(US) cash and $20,000 in prizes. Open to all levels of songwriters, ISC offers
22 categories that include all genres of popular music. Past winners have
included artists from Grammy winners to hobbyist songwriters and everyone in
between.

Winning ISC can be a tremendous career booster. Over
the years, many winners have achieved great career success, including getting
signed to labels such as Epic, Universal, Motown, and more. Many more winners

distribution deals in addition to getting more gigs, fans, and
recognition.
