Madison, WI (PRWEB) June 8, 2009 -- Broadjam.com (http://www.broadjam.com) , an independent music website featuring free music promotion, music licensing opportunities, and music contests, launched the 2009 6-Pack Songwriting contest, now in its fifth year.

The 6-Pack Contest consists of six individual songwriting challenges, which take place between June and September 2009. Prizes are awarded at each challenge step, but each challenge is also designed to be a little more difficult than the previous. By the sixth challenge, the level of difficulty is high and the results very exciting. This year, prizes to be awarded are valued at over $85,000.

"The 6-Pack Songwriting Contest seems to get better each year," says Broadjam Founder and CEO Roy Elkins. "The sponsors and prizes are amazing this year, and I look forward to hearing how our members interpret each challenge."

How The Contest Works

Participating artists earn additional points for every song that places in the Top 20 of each challenge. A song's rank is determined by the average rating it receives from peer reviews. It is possible for an artist to have more than one song in the Top 20.

During the review process for each challenge, songs may change places frequently, thus altering the number of points awarded as new reviews are submitted. Therefore, points shown for a challenge that is still in the review stage are not final.

When review periods end, Broadjam will name the winners for each challenge, according to point totals. At the end of the final challenge, the 20 participants who have accumulated the most points throughout the competition will receive prize packages.
