How
did it happen???
Songwriters learned about our Songs Inspired
by Literature Competition - through the songwriting grapevine
and our on-line network.
After reviewing over 350
songs from 38 states and 10 countries,
the first-round judges (music professionals) chose 30
semi-finalists.
Then
came the second-round judges (members of the writing and publishing
community). They reviewed the 30 semi-finalist entries based not
only on their musical appeal, but on their undisputed value as true
manifestations of songs inspired by literature.
Thanks
for supporting us by buying this CD!
