The entry fee for this contest is $29.99 for one song and $49.99 for 2 songs (must be submitted simultaneously). There is no limit to the number of songs you may enter. The winning songs will be determined as follows:

Step one:
Enter your information below and click "CONTINUE" to submit your lyrics. They will be screened by software that automatically scores the quality of song lyrics based on guidelines from the award winning book "Nashville Songwriting" by legendary songwriter Jerry Cupit. You will receive an instant score and critique with suggestions on how to improve your lyrics. If your lyrics don't pass the first time, you may submit your improved lyrics as many times as you wish until they are qualified to advance to Stage Two.

Step two:
When your lyrics pass Stage One, you will advance to the second round of screening and will be asked to upload an mp3 of your song. The song will be judged by experienced industry professionals to determine the final top 50 contestants who will compete for the Grand Prize in Stage Three, a head-to-head televised event!

If you prefer not to upload your song, you may print out your score sheet showing you have passed step one and mail it along with a CD of your song to:
