(2007)
FINALISTS
& HONOR AWARDS

The quality of songwriting in the 9th Annual Great American Song Contest was so impressive we found it necessary to expand this section of Finalists & Honor winners.

According to our Judges, noteworthy songs were discovered in all categories, more than any other year in the nine-year history of the Great American Song Contest.

Because so many fine songs were entered, the task of choosing the winners was enjoyable, but also very challenging.

We are proud to list the following Finalists and Honor winners, all of whom scored near the top of their respective categories.
