SONGS OF STRENGTH ORIGINAL MUSIC CONTEST

Are you a songwriter? Is Music in your soul?
Columbia Festival of the Arts, WTMD and our community partners want to hear from you! Now through November 19 you can submit your creativity as part of our Songs of Strength music competition.
While entries can be any kind of music with lyrics on any subject you like, Songs of Strength is about music that somehow inspires, shares our challenges, our hopes, our will to grow and desire to heal. We have a Youth category for songwriters under 18 (as of Oct 1, 2020) and an Adult category for 18+.

Be prepared to upload your audio, up to 3 photographs (images and/or artwork), and a PDF lyric sheet. If you have a Music Video file, you can include the URL to YouTube, Vimeo, or other hosting site.
