Thank you so much for sending in your song!
Remember: everyone is a winner! We had a record turn out of songs this year. We raised over $1200 for our non profit. Thank you so much for submitting a song! Jill Holly mentioned that the overall quality of the songs this year are better than in years past. We will put the top ten on the first radio show (podcast) and Rebekka will pick songs from the whole contest that she liked for the the 2nd radio show.
Placing a spot on this contest is great, but we are keeping ALL the songs to help you promote yourself. We keep a library of your music so that we can play it for people who are looking for artists and songs.
