San Diego Songwriter's Guild

SDSG’s 17th Annual Song Contest will be held Wednesday, November 12, 2008 at the Country Inn & Suites in Sorrento Valley. The contest is a popular tradition for San Diego writers, and offers a unique opportunity to hear a tremendous cross section of local work. Prize winners are selected by a panel of industry professionals in our final event on November 12, during which song entries recorded on CD or cassette are played for both judges and audience to hear. Winners will be announced and prizes awarded on this jam packed night, an exciting prospect indeed. If you are a songwriter, or a producer or artist looking for some new material, Country Inn & Suites, located at 5975 Lusk Boulevard , San Diego 92121 is the place to be on Wednesday, November 12.

This year’s grand prize includes a $500 Cash Award from SDSG. We’ll also be giving away a Taylor Guitar, thanks to Taylor’s generous support, and a stay at Pala Mesa Resort, too! Many other fine prizes, donated by local and national businesses will be awarded… Remember, the maximum total number of entries is only 70 songs, so do the math and you’ll know your chances of taking home a prize are excellent!

The contest is open to the public. You may join the Guild or renew your membership simultaneously with your entry and take advantage of member discounts. Submit your entries by mail now or in person on the night of the contest. To guarantee entry into the contest, and to qualify for the early entry discount, songs must be mailed to SDSG and received no later than November 1, 2008. Mail-in entries are being accepted now. Up to 70 recorded songs will be judged in the Finals the night of Wednesday, November 12. If more than 70 entries are received by November 1, a panel of judges will pre-screen and select the 70 top songs for the Finals. If space permits, SDSG will accept additional entries before and on the night of the Final. However, registration by mail is encouraged to guarantee your entries can be accepted.
