Songwriters Academy Competition
The deadline is looming for the Songwriters Academy competition – the songwriting competition being run by the British Academy Of Composers & Songwriters.
This is giving aspiring songwriters from all genres the chance to gain recognition of their work and a range of career development support.
Any songwriter can enter, and finalists in each category (individuals, groups, under 18s) will get to attend a masterclass from a leading practitioner, while the overall winners will get one of their songs commercially released plus a stack of home recording equipment.
The deadline for over 18s is Sunday 16 Jul, so if you’re planning on entering you should get over to the Songwriters Academy Website. If you’re looking for inspiration, the Academy has a MySpace which includes audio interviews on all things songwriting with Sacha Skarbek, co-writer of James Blunt’s ‘You’re Beautiful’, and Kaiser Chief Nick Hodgeson.
