THE BRITISH SONGWRITING AWARDS
THE BRITISH SONGWRITING AWARDS
A new music industry project and website, The British Songwriting Awards, will launch in 2018, featuring the most successful songs of the year. There will be a special section produced in association with the UK Songwriting Contest dedicated to new songwriters. All UKSC category winners, and some finalists, will receive a British Songwriting Award from this project. Look out for more news on this at the end of the year.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Starting in 2018 the UKSC will become part of an exciting new music industry event and will be known as The UK Songwriting Contest and British Songwriting Awards. This reflects the position of the UKSC as a popular, respected and important songwriting event. The British Songwriting Awards will feature new songwriters as selected by the UKSC (there will be a UK plus an International Section) and will also publish lists of, and make awards to, the most popular established mainstream songwriters based on official sales, downloads and streaming figures. In the past only famous artists who recorded the songs received recognition - this event will feature and recognise the most important contributors: the songwriters.
By pairing new songwriters from the UKSC with established big names this will provide more exposure and opportunity for new songwriters entering the music business.
