Your last chance to submit songs!

The International UK Songwriting Contest 2020 closes for entries at the end of this month on November 30. This is your last chance to submit songs this year. The final deadline is midnight on Monday 30th.

ARE YOU A FINALIST?
Within days of submitting your song you will know if you are in the Semi Finals. And very soon after this, during December, we will tell you if your song is in the Finals and competing for a Winner position in the 2020 event. This will be an exciting month, as Finalists are announced and winners selected. And there will be Live updates in your song dashboard.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES
There are many new opportunities to get involved as a songwriter this year. The new Collaboration Section offers the chance for musicians and lyricists to join up and co-write songs, you can write the melody or the lyrics, and we will match you up with a partner. The Songwriting Challenge asks you to create new lyrics or new melody for Paul McCartney´s Yesterday, the Crisis Songs Category is for topical songs about the pandemic or climate or political crises, Work In Progress is for unfinished songs. There is a new Unplugged category and many different genre categories. Something for everyone! Full details are on the contest website.

So... get your songs to us before Midnight on Monday 30 November. We look forward to receiving them. The judges are ready and waiting to select the Finalist and Winners for this year.

Very Best Wishes,
UKSC

Hello people from UKSC,
How do I see whether I'm a finalist? If I click on the text 'Are you a finalist?' on the top of this page, nothing happens. Or does this mean that I'm not a finalist? That would be a great dissapointment for me. This year I send in my best lyrics in the lyrics only category and I will never write this good again. 'She will Walk on Water' really is my best lyric after all those years that I'm a participant of the UKSongwriting Contest. I really hope to win a production with this lyric. Please, make me a finalist! Best wishes from Ankie

I cannot login on my dashboard anymore! My acces to this site has been limited by the owner! What can I do to see my results? It says I've been blockes because I exceeded the maximum number of page requests per minute for humans! What is that? I did not do anything unusual! Can you help me please? The message is from Wordfence

Entered on 30th November and not heard anything yet for my Christian/Faith entry.
I’m a semi finalist in the Love Songs category, hoping to go further, but think it’s now peaked.
Cheers.

This is very discouraging. It is now 15th December and there have been no updates to the site or my dashboard, so I have no clue as to what is happening. It was stated that there would be news in early December. There do not seem to be any contact details on the site, either email or phone, to enable a direct enquiry. Having submitted quite a number of entries and spent a fair amount, ir worries me that things are not progressing in a proper and timely manner, whatever the results may be.

And now in the middle of writing on this subject all the typing I have enter to expand on this was wiped during entry!
