exceeded any previous year, according to GASC Judges, who reviewed entries
from over 1600 songwriters.
Outstanding
songs were discovered in all categories of the 2010 contest. The
increased number of excellent songs made the task of choosing the winners
enjoyable — but extremely challenging.

of their respective categories.
(The
number of category Finalists is proportionate to the number of
