Singer/Songwriter Beverly Perry has eleven entires that have advanced to the semi-finals in the 2015 International UK Songwriting Contest out of over 7000 entries.

I was shocked to learn that my original tunes were resonating with different judges across all genres I submitted to. It was very unexpected.

The UK Songwriting Contest is one of the world's longest running and most popular international songwriting events, in association with prestigious bodies such as The BRIT Trust (of BRIT Awards fame), The BRIT Studio, The BRIT School, Music Aid UK and top British producers and international industry professionals with the aim of "discovering and encouraging new songwriting talent and promoting the craft of songwriting". Every year the event becomes more international with entries from around the world and with appearances of winners on major network TV shows worldwide. It is well known in the international music business as an important launching pad for new songwriting talent.

Among the hopefuls advancing to the 2015 semi-finals is Oklahoma's own, Beverly Perry, whose song "It Was Real" made it to the finals in the country music category in 2014. Diagnosed with a rare genetic disease, Acute Intermittent Porphyria, Perry was forced to leave her career with a medical company and move back to Oklahoma in 2012. "I found that songwriting was a needed creative outlet. For me, it's not about winning awards. There is something healing about creativity."

Songs in the contest are judged solely on composition, with exception of the singer/songwriter category in which vocal performance is also judged . Perry entered three songs in the singer/songwriter category this year, with all three advancing to the semi-finals. Placing in six categories with eleven entries, Beverly Perry says, "I am honored to have so many songs selected to be among the semi-finalists. The competition is stiff and music can be subjective." She adds, "I'm keeping my fingers crossed that at least one song will be a finalist again this year. It would be a dream to win a category. I am just happy that I have been chosen to advance in multiple genres this year. I was shocked to learn that my original tunes were resonating with different judges across all genres I submitted to. It was very unexpected," Perry concluded.

Among the 2015 judges are top music industry names:
Shelly Peiken - a Multi-Platinum Album, Grammy nominated hit songwriter who is well known for her #1 hits "What a Girl Wants" and "Come On Over Baby" with Christina Aguilera, and songs recorded by Meat Loaf, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Ronan Keating, Backstreet Boys, Cher, Gladys Knight, Gloria Gaynor, Lindsay Lohan, Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, NSYNC and many more.
