Would you like to get your song lyrics to top music-industry pros and find rewarding opportunities in the music business?

Judges for the GASC Lyric Writing category focus on effective use of lyrical technique — imagery, rhyming and theme development. They also consider how successfully a lyric can be adapted to music.

Winners in the Lyric Writing category of the Great American Song Contest receive lots of great prizes (see Prizes & Benefits) and ALL ENTRANTS receive a free All-Access Pass to SongU.com (a $50 value)
