SONG CONTEST BLOG

In a blog post, Spinme.com Editor, Joe Taylor writes:

“If you type the words ’songwriting contest’ into Google, you’re going to come back with close to a million entries.  And that number is growing all the time.  Too many scam artists are realizing that it’s far too easy to convince a songwriter to part with her money on the assumption that she’ll get ‘found’.”

In a separate post, Joe Taylor writes:

“Too many songwriting contests market themselves with the fantasy that music business veterans and chart-topping superstars will be holed up in a conference room, poring over your submission.  For the most part, that simply doesn’t happen unless you make it to the final round of the most elite and well-respected songwriting contests.”

Do you think there’s any merit to Joe Taylor’s sentiments?
