Unisong offers Grand Prizes that are not awarded by any other international
songwriting competition. This year's Grand Prize winner will once again win a
one week all expenses paid writing and performing retreat to your choice of
Ireland, Denmark, Crete, Sweden, Spain, or Big SurCalifornia.
Or for those who would rather not travel, and have more cash for other things
closer to home, we are offering a $2,500 Grand Prize, plus the same package of
additional cool prizes as an alternative. So now with the Grand Prize, it's
your choice .. "To travel, or not to travel ".or take the extra cash!!!
Plus this year there are additional
prizes to go with either the retreat or the cash prize:
FL Studio Producer Edition by Image Line Software
Free recording of one song ($1000 value) by MyRecordLabel.net
BFD2 drum work by FXPansion
5 CD's of winner's choice by Loopmasters

| To try and give you some sense
of what one of our Grand Prize retreats looks, sounds and feels like,
here is a montage of photos and a link to a video made by past Grand Prize
winner Judith de los Santos. Judith chose to take part in the annual retreat on
Inisheer, the smallest of the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland as her
prize. As you can see from the pictures below, a good time was had by all. This
could be you this time around!!! |

McGilligan's Island? No, Judith's island!
Better known as Inisheer, and it's a real Irish beauty!

The "Winner of the Month" is an additional "contest-within-a-contest"
feature where one winner will automatically be selected from all
entries in a given month and awarded an extra $250 prize, a free "killer drum
track" by world class session drummer Chet McCracken

and a one month individual spotlight of the writer (s) and their song on the
Unisong website.
There will be a "Winner of the Month" selected in this edition of Unisong for
the months of June, July, August, and September. This feature is judged
in-house and separately from the main contest, and wining this prize has NO
bearing on the regular contest judging afterwards. You don't have to do
anything extra to be considered for this mini competition, just enter your
songs from June through September.

| The "People's Choice Award" of $500
USD will be awarded to the best song as voted for by the public
online during an extra voting period (after the announcement of the winners as
selected by the judging panels). This award is one more way to win a cash prize
and gain some extra recognition and exposure. Once we officially announce the
top four winning songs in all 16 categories, those 64 songs will be posted on
our web site, and the public is invited to vote for their favorite song from
this pool over a two-week period. The song which receives the most votes will
win the bonus cash prize, a one year Platinum membership from SongU.com (an
additional $295 value), and a one year membership in LAMN (Los Angeles Music
Network) . Click here
