Forty International Songwriting Contests Open To Songwriters
Over three dozen international songwriting contests take place each year, in countries ranging from the USA to Ireland.
Most songwriting contests are open to overseas entries, apart from the national contests arranged country-by-country for participation in the annual Eurovision Songwriting Contest, which is the largest and most successful songwriting contest held in the world.
We list recommended songwriting contests in the panel on the right. Forms are usually available from ISA about two months in advance of the contest closing date.
Contests can be a means of entry to the real world of songwriting, and some of them offer very substantial cash prizes. Others are little more than lotteries. Shop around!
If you are organising a song contest - contact the ISA.
We will be happy to publicise the contest once we have seen the rules, and conditions of entry.
