SongDoor is one of the top 6 songwriting competitions in the world. Our primary goals are to 1) provide a channel for new original music to be heard, and 2) to provide useful tools to improve songwriters' skills.All songs are fully screened by industry professionals with real connections to music publishing, producers, artists and labels, and are judged by industry pros who have worked with Neil Young, Justin Timberlake, Tony Bennett, Britney Spears, Kenny Rogers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Fray, Train and dozens of other notable artists. Each year, all entrants are given a free unlimited-access trial to SongU.com plus a free songwriting software program (compatible with either Mac or Windows).Original songs may be entered in the following categories: Christian, Country, Instrumental, Pop, Rock/Alt and Soft Rock. The total awards purse is valued at more than $40,000 and includes a full-band session demo (recorded and produced on Nashville's Music Row), a single-song publishing contract, exclusive pitching and networking opportunities, a comprehensive assortment of top-shelf songwriting software and more.The competition is open to amateurs and professionals worldwide.
