History


The UK Songwriting Contest was launched in London in 2002 in association with The BRIT Trust, The BRIT School, The BRIT Studio, Music Aid International, and The Guild of International Songwriters and Composers. Roland Music UK were major sponsors offering prizes of home recording equipment. Winning artists were given recording time at The BRIT Studio and featured on an industry promotional CD release. The media, especially the BBC, took a great interest in the event with many finalists and winners receiving press and BBC Radio coverage. More about the contest...

The UKSC is now in its fifteenth successful year and it is one of the longest running songwriting contests in the world. Since its launch over 70,000 songs have taken part in this event and over £1,000,000 has been awarded in prizes. The contest is a favourite with beginners and also with experienced songwriters from around the world and it has a highly respected reputation in the music industry. The UKSC judges include top Gold and Platinum Album Award winners and Grammy, Emmy and BRIT Award winning producers and artists. Read more about the judges here.

The UK Songwriting Contest was formed with support from The BRIT Trust to promote the craft of songwriting and to encourage and discover new songwriters and it is well known in the music industry as an impressive launching pad for new talent. Many past contestants have been signed by publishers, producers and record companies - including signings by top names such as Simon Cowell. Many entrants have also received extensive radio play for their entries, TV appearances and press coverage and have gone on to successfully write for major artists. Read the full history here...
