The WorshipTheRock.com annual songwriting contest is kicking off for 2020! We always have entries spanning all styles including: praise & worship, CCM, country, rap and everything else in-between!
[See the 2019 Contest Winners]
Here are the details for this year's contest:
- Two separate categories! Enter a song in one category, or enter multiple songs and cover both categories! (one category association per song)
- Incredible panel of experienced judges that will evaluate and score each entry, AND provide feedback!
- Song entry fee is only $30 USD! (discount for multiple songs)
- Must submit an MP3 and a lyric sheet (or chord chart if you have one) for each song entry.
Praise & Worship
Entries into this category are expected to be congregational worship songs, intended for the Sunday morning (or whatever day) church worship service. If you can't imagine singing this song with your congregation in corporate worship, then you probably need the other category.

Contemporary Christian
Entries into this category are expected to be the non-congregational songs that would be more for suited for radio play, church service "special music", or just listening for the enjoyment and encouragement! Any style is welcome... country, gospel, rap, R&B, etc.

CONTEST FAQ
Q: Do I maintain full ownership of my song after submitting it to the contest?
A: YES! Whether you win or lose, we never take any ownership rights to your songs.
Q: Do I have to be from the United States (USA) to participate?
A: NO! We've had entries from many different countries over the years. In 2017, the winner was from Canada and we've also had a top category winner from New Zealand. We do require that English lyrics be provided as translation if the song is not in English.
Q: Does my song have to be professionally recorded to enter the contest?
A: NO! Obviously, the better your recording, the better we can really hear and get a feel for your song. However, whether it's just your voice and guitar recorded on your phone, or a full studio production, you can submit the song as long as there are both lyrics and music clearly heard.
