The Music Industry Lyrics Contest and Awards
|
The Lyricist Of The Year Awards works with some of the world's top music organizations, music copyright services, song contests and others to find talented new lyricists to nominate for awards. The 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 may nominate yourself by paying a submission fee.
