Music Contest
January 22nd, 2009 by Lior ShamirIn an effort to establish We Are Listening’s music contest price structure in relation to other music contest providers in the market, I did a little research to determine the range in entry fees these various companies are charging. It would be interesting to analyze the cost-to-return ratio also (i.e. what a music contest offers as a prize and whether it’s proportional to the entry fee) but I think I’ll leave that for another post. Here’s what I found:
$45 – Durango Song Contest
$35 – International Songwriting competition
$35 – USA Songwriting Competition
$30 – Billboard World Song Contest
$30 – John Lennon Songwriting Contest
$30 – Great American Song Contest
$30 – UK Songwriting Contest
$30 – We Are Listening
$28 – Unisong International Songwriting Contest
$25 – Life In The Years Song Contest
$20 – Annual Independent Music Awards
$20 – Cooche Music Annual Amateur Songwriting Contest
$10 – Music City Song Contest
$10 – West Coast Songwriters International Song Contest
I’m sure that I have excluded a music contest or two from the list, however, I don’t think I missed the leaders, of which We Are Listening is a proud member. Incidentally, although I included We Are Listening’s music contest entry fee to the list as $30, it is important to stress that it represents the average music contest fee. For instance, the Lyric Writer Awards is $20 whereas Breaking the Band is $40.
