THE 17th ANNUAL BILLBOARD WORLD SONG CONTEST OFFICIALLY OPEN TO SUBMISSIONS
Tulsa, OK – The 17th annual Billboard world song contest is now officially underway. The contest offers unparalleled exposure via Billboard’s venerable reputation and renowned compilation CD featuring songs from winners in its twelve songwriting categories. Prizes are also awarded to top songwriters. In addition to this, the contest will also feature a new Fan Favorite category. Bands that submit to this new category can garner further exposure by being featured on the Billboard Song Contest webpage when they submit a new entry and as they gather votes from fans. Fans will be allowed only one vote, so a band needs to bring all of its fans to the table. The Fan Favorite winners (first, second and third) will earn a place on the compilation disc.

The Billboard Song Contest was the first of its kind and after 16 years continues to break ground in exposing new talent to the world. Each submission is entered into our master database and archived to efficiently prepare each song for the judging process. Each judge individually scores the entries based on structure, originality, lyrics, composition, melody, and commercial appeal. Our judges are picked from a select group of music industry insiders knowledgeable about songwriting, current trends, and the music business in general. Their judging reports contain valuable information and advice emphasizing each songs strengths as well as tips on how to maximize your own songwriting abilities. And YES, we now accept lyrics only, just as we’ve always accepted a capella entries in the past.
The top three winners in all categories benefit from distribution of the Billboard World Song Contest Winners’ CD which is sent to music executives, producers, publishers, agents, promoters, and more throughout the industry. We distribute over $30,000 in winner and consolation prizes. For many participants this is a springboard to success. All submissions are due by December 31, 2009.
Categories include: Rock/Alt.Rock, Pop, Country, Americana/Folk, Latin, Contemporary Christian/Traditional Gospel, Jazz, R&B/Blues, HipHop/Rap, World, Electronica/Soundtrack/Dance. The new Fan Favorite category can be accessed after entering a song into one of our previously mentioned categories. Be sure to visit our sponsors for even more opportunities to network! Sponsors include: CASIO, D’Addario Strings, TAXI-The Independent A&R Vehicle, Indie Band Manager, Discmakers, CD Baby, Blublocker Sunglasses, GoGirlsMusic.com, The Halsey Institute, and exclusive online song submission partner Sonicbids.com.

Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when...
