A songwriting competition is a contest whereby musicians submit original music to a third party or forum, generally to win a prize or some other benefit. Songwriting competitions have existed long before the advent of the Internet, but today many are conducted through websites or musician forums. An example is the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in New York, which was founded by Yoko Ono in 1997 and has existed both online and offline. Other important songwriting competitions are the Unisong International Song Contest in Los Angeles or the International Songwriting Competition in Nashville. Winners receive money prizes exposure and airplay of their songs, sometimes recording contracts. Songwriting competitions are often called "career-boosts". A variation on the theme of songwriting competitions is ComProsers, whose inaugural contest asks participants to read a short story first and create a piece of music inspired by that story.〔(ComProsers )〕 On June 3, 2015, American Songwriter magazine announced a new music / songwriting competition initiated by Fiverr, called The Big Hook.〔(The Big Hook )〕 Songwriting competitions differ from singing competitions, such as ''American Idol'', because the latter do not require that the music submitted or performed be original; in fact, the music is usually published and rather well known. ''American Idol'' has, however, recently launched a subsidiary songwriting competition of its own.〔(American Idol songwriting contest. )〕 ==References== *(Global Songwriting Contest ), a limited entry global songwriting contest 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Songwriting competition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
