SONG CRITIQUES
 

As we highly believe in the valuable feedback personal critiques offer, our team of knowledgeable and helpful experts in this area are drawn from the same high level pool of songwriters, publishers, artists, and record company executives who do the regular judging for us.We offer both a full song critique (music and lyrics), and a lyrics only critique for people requesting feedback on a lyric submitted in the lyrics only category. We offer two levels of critique, either a basic, more standard fashion for $10, or a fuller, more custom critique for $15 per song. You will be able to choose which version you want at the time of entry.

To make it as easy as possible, your critques will be accessible online to be viewed and/or printed as often as you like! Getting a song critique is a great extra opportunity to receive valuable personal feedback on your current song or lyric craft besides entering it in the contest. Finished critiques will be available for viewing and/or download no later than 60 days after the announcement of the winners
