 Creative Commons License 2.0. Ralph_PH (2022) We're excited to announce a significant opportunity for songwriters: the UK Songwriting Contest is adding a 'Major Artists' category to the 2023 contest. Starting August 2023, this category provides a unique opportunity for songwriters to submit compositions tailored for globally recognised music icons.
The UKSC has excellent connections with major music industry players and it is a first point of call for many TV and radio producers, important music events organisers, publishers and labels etc. Just this year for example we worked with The Voice UK to find suitable artists for this popular TV show. The UKSC invites submissions that complement the styles of established artists, both current sensations like Taylor Swift or BTS and legends from the past like Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley. You will be asked to specify the artist on the entry form when you submit. For contemporary artists, winning entries and finalists will be actively promoted to the artists' team. While recording is not guaranteed, the UKSC will advocate for the winning songwriters and will initiate contact with the chosen major artists or their management team. This is your opportunity to have your songs considered by prominent figures in the music industry. If you are submitting a song composed for past musical legends, the winners will benefit from our selection of existing prizes as well as a chance to be featured on musicaid.fm. The Major Artists Category extends the UKSC's dedication to promoting the art and the craft of songwriting. We strive to help songwriters gain valuable connections within the industry. Your music deserves recognition, and we're here to help it happen. The deadline for submission into all categories is the 31st of October. This is when the contest ends and no more songs can be entered after this date. The Standard entry form can be found here. The PayPal entry form can be found here. Previously entered songs can be re-submitted into this new category.
