Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ International Songwriting Competition) The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has again assembled a diverse panel of judges that consists of some of the most iconic artists in the world coupled with influential music executives from all walks of the industry. Known for its high caliber of judges, ISC gives away more than $150,000 in cash and prizes (shared among the 68 winners) including an overall Grand Prize consisting of $25,000 (US) cash and $30,000 in prizes.

Open to both amateur and professional songwriters, ISC offers 22 categories to enter, representing all genres of popular music, from Rock to Jazz to Blues to Hip-Hop, and more. Past winners have included Grammy winners, chart-topping artists, hobbyist songwriters, and everyone in between. Winners have included Gotye, Kimbra, The Band Perry, Andrew Bird, Kate Miller-Heidke, Gin Wigmore, Missy Higgins, Carbon Leaf, King Charles, and many more.

Getting an artist's music into the hands (and ears) of the music industry's heavy hitters is one of the most difficult goals to accomplish, yet ISC provides this opportunity to all its finalists.
