Dear Fellow Songwriters,

Welcome to SongDoor, the only songwriting competition where every person who enters wins. We’re not about hype and big promises of fame and fortune; we are about helping songwriters everywhere to improve their craft. We know what it's like; we're all songwriters and industry veterans ourselves.

To prove it, we give everyone who enters a free self-paced songwriting course at SongU.com and free songwriting software, whether you win a SongDoor award or not - that’s $120 worth of great tools! We also think entry fees should be lower than other competitions — a lot lower. So here, it’s only $10 per entry, not $35 or even $50, like some other competitions.

We’ll be giving each entry a thorough listen, focusing on melody, lyrics, structure and originality. Then we forward the top five finalists in each category to the judges, who vote on the Grand Award and the six Category Winners.

Thanks for visiting us. If you have any questions, or suggestions for making the site or the competition better, please email us. We love hearing from you all.

Kind regards,

The SongDoor Staff
