MILITARY Is The Topic For Free Online Song Contest

A free online song contest with prizes and publishing awards has chosen Military Songs for its topic. Up to three songs may be entered without charge, and winners will be part of a CD record release that pays mechanical royalties based on sales. Some U.S. military will receive free advance copies, as thanks from the writers.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2004 -- Prizes added to this year's free online song competition from Goodnight Kiss Music include a full-size Stradivarius-style violin, legal and songwriting consultations, single-song record and publishing contracts, industry source guides, books, t-shirts, CDs and cash awards. The competition runs through May 31, 2004 and songs are submitted online via a free entry site provided by Goodnight Kiss Music and Broadjam.com.

"Probably the most fun part of the competition is calling a writer or artist to tell them they have won a contest prize," smiles Janet Fisher, owner of Goodnight Kiss. "Almost every one of them thinks I'm pulling a prank at the beginning of the call."

It's wonderful to be able to validate a great work from an unknown artist via a publishing contract or record release. Even if the song is not selected for a project, the award of a prize means that the judges heard the merit of the song. Some writers laugh when I tell them, some writers cry just from the emotion of having the acknowledgement. It is an effort rewarded."

The fourteen-year-old contest has been the clay for various Goodnight Kiss product based on the topics requested as subject matter. Past competitions have culminated in CDs about Addiction, a "Music Horror Stories" book, an original World Christmas album, and other various releases. New projects and contests are listed in their weekly company newsletter, which is also emailed without charge to anyone who would like to read it.

Fisher also produces special songwriter CDs, like icon writer Jack Segal's classic, "When Sunny Gets Blue, Scarlet Ribbons, and Other Songs I Wrote," on her Goodnight Kiss Records label, supervises music for film, and publishes a free online newsletter with music articles and the latest music software.

"Our contest is always exciting, because a great song can come from anywhere," Fisher continues, "The theme this year is military songs. Not tragedy songs, but uplifting and fun songs for our troops and allies. We know we will be able to create a stunning CD from the entries we'll receive. The records that result from these competitions always have a special brilliance."
