ABOUT THE UKSC
The UKSC was formed 21 years ago with The BRIT Trust, The BRIT School (Adele and Amy Winehouse are graduates) and The BRIT Studio to discover and support new songwriters. It quickly grew into a respected major international event but the entry fee is kept low for all songwriters. Everyone receives UKSC Certificates for each song, a $50 package of song pitching and songwriting courses, and free entry into major international partner events worth many $$$s. The Total Prize Fund is valued at over £500,000 (over $600,000) and the information you receive for each song with its position, judges´ score, and Star Rating provide valuable feedback. We welcome you to join us in one of the world´s most respected and popular international songwriting events!  Full Prize details here.
