Members Notorious B U G Posted September 7, 2003 Members Share Posted September 7, 2003 Anyone have any feedback on songwritting competitions. I am thinking about sending in 1 of my songs to the "International Songwriting Competition". It looks like it may be a good way to have some "heavies" here your tunes.. any thoughts??? Thanks & take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlueStrat Posted September 9, 2003 Members Share Posted September 9, 2003 How much do they want from you dollar-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cyprus Posted September 15, 2003 Members Share Posted September 15, 2003 It's all big rip off pretty much. But I know Dexter Freebish had won the John Lennon song writing contest and that launched their career. In case you're wondering, "who's Dexter Freebish?", they had that song "leaving town" a couple years back, actually good band but didn't get much radio play.

Members dano Posted September 15, 2003 Members Share Posted September 15, 2003 Take it from me, if you do this you better have your song legaly yours first or you can loose it . I have heard a version of one of my tunes on the radio before. My wife does the typing for a great song writter of years past who is still fighting to get his roylity money for some that hit the country charts and have been redone by many of the top artists. Some record companies pay and keep track of this others don't. She checks places like kaaza to find anyone who has done his songs and she finds sometimes they are recorded 1-15 times by folks he never even knew did them. This happens everyday!!!

Members Notorious B U G Posted September 21, 2003 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2003 well now ya tell me, already sent a tune in. But, I gots it copyrighted so I pity the MoFo who tries to runaway w/ my tune. I don't know, I think these comps are just like a good agent. Weed out the crap and show the good tunes to some important people via judges & compilation cd's etc. I have faith, but I dont know. Guess I'll have to see how it turns out. Thinkin' of submitting a tune this week to the John lennon contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dano Posted September 21, 2003 Members Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yes, by all means have your work seen! I believe your right about the agent thing, they need to be showed off somehow. Just havem protected first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
