Plus, every year there are guaranteed entry gifts (worth many times the entry fee) for everyone who enters, including valuable songwriting courses from SongU and also Broadjam memberships, as well as the main winning prizes - visit The Prizes page for full details.

Many entrants have received royalty earning radio play for their entries and many more have been featured in the press, in radio interviews and on prime time TV and many entrants have been published, or have been signed and/or produced by top industry figures who closely follow this event looking for new talent. In the words of the UK's Channel 4 Television: "The UK Songwriting Contest does what it says on the tin! This is a real chance for new songwriters to break into the music business".
