The Music Industry Lyrics Awards from industry bodies including Music Aid International, The Music Aid Academy, The Song Copyright Organization, The UK Songwriting Contest, and other major songwriting events and industry partners.

The Lyricist Of The Year Awards searches the world's top song contests, music organizations, song copyright registers and more to find talented new lyricists to nominate for awards. The final award winners are chosen by a panel of peers and industry professionals. If your song lyric is not already in one of the places we look (check below to see if you already have a free entry) you can nominate yourself by paying a submission fee, as described below. The Award winning lyricists will be announced and the awards presented at the close of the event.
