Celebrating its 13th year, the Song Academy’s Young Songwriter competition (SAYS23) has opened its entries, encouraging young people aged 8–18 to apply.
Students are invited to submit an mp3 file of an original song and a document containing its song lyrics. Each entrant can enter up to five songs, and each song costs £10 to submit to cover judging and administrative costs.
The Song Academy offers to invoice schools for pupil entries that they are funding. Further information on this is available online.
The competition is judging the craft of songwriting, so tracks do not need to be recorded on professional equiptment. Submissions will be judged by a professional panel including Fraser T Smith, Plested, Amy Wadge, Jimmy Napes and Calum Scott.
