We just wanted to remind you that the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) 2013 Final Deadline is coming up soon - November 4 2013, but you still have time to enter for this year's competition (if you haven't already..or..if you want to enter additional songs) and the competition is open to both signed and unsigned artists!
| ISC gives away more than $150,000 in cash and prizes to 68 winners, including $25,000 cash to the Grand Prize winner. Amateur and professional songwriters are welcome to enter. ISC accepts entries by mail or online (platforms include ISC, Sonicbids, ReverbNation, Broadjam, and Facebook). Entering ISC is now easier than ever, because ISC will go to your Radio Airplay, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, YouTube, or Facebook page to listen to your songs (so you don't even need to send us your songs!) |
