Our Songwriting Contest is over! We’ve had some super entries and will try to announce the top scoring songwriters around the first of September. Then we’ll get those songs mastered and off to CODA, Inc. to get the CDs duplicated. And finally, off to the pros at the Durango Songwriters Expo the end of September and the first of October!
