Songwriting and lyric-writing contests
have always provided songwriters and
lyricists with a great way to earn good
money, get discovered, and get their
start in the music business. Many
songwriting contests are judged by
record company executives and talent
agents, and winners often earn cash,
prizes and a songwriting contract.
Even songwriters who don't win still
have the opportunity to impress the
judges with their songwriting, which
could help lead to getting discovered.
Talent agents know that songwriting
and lyric contests are a great place to
discover talented new songwriters!

song with the most hit potential, the
one with catchiest melody, or the
song with the best lyrics. Most
songwriting & lyric contests have a
special category for Best Lyric, as well
as best ballad, country song, R&B
song, best rap, and several other
