UK Song Contest

I recently entered the UK Songwriting competition with my Cancer Research UK single ‘It Wasn’t Meant to Be’. At the time of entering, I wasn’t really sure what score to expect, but when the results came out I was more than happy with my result.

The competition gave each song a score between 1 and 10 and, although I didn’t make it as a finalist, I was super excited to have received a score of 6. This is what the competition said about this score;

‘A score of 6 indicates that the writer has demonstrated real songwriting ability and understanding and songs with these scores will receive a Commended Entry Certificate.’
Me and my certificate...woohoo!!
 
How cool! However, I had mixed feelings about the next bit…
‘A score of 6 can be regarded as a borderline semi finalist score and indicates that the song nearly made it into the semi finals’.

So close but didn’t quite make it. However, what I did get from this competition was confidence in my songwriting abilities. The fact that I was a ‘borderline semi finalist’ has encouraged me to keep on writing and the knowledge that I am a good songwriter.

Keep chasing your dreams!
