Your church loves your song. So does your mom. Time to share it!

2019 WorshipTheRock.com Songwriting Contest

The WorshipTheRock.com songwriting contest is kicking off for 2019! Last year's contest was great and even bigger than the previous year. Entries included praise & worship, CCM, country, rap and everything else in-between! [See the 2018 Contest Winners] Here are the details for this year's contest:

  • This will run as TWO SEPARATE CONTESTS! Instead of worship songs being judged alongside of broader scale contemporary Christian songs, we are separating them into two categories.
  • Praise & Worship Category: Entries into this category are expected to be congregational worship songs, intended for the Sunday morning (or whatever day) church worship service.
  • Contemporary Christian Category: 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.
  • Incredible panel of experienced judges that will evaluate and score each entry, AND provide feedback! Most songwriting contests give you nothing back. We want to encourage, help and give any guidance that we can!
  • Song entry fee is only $30 USD! The fee is discounted when submitting more than one song. You will be required to submit an MP3 and a lyric sheet (or chord chart if you have one) for each song entry.
  • Entries are being accepted NOW through October 26, 2019 at midnight MST.
  • Winners will be announced on or before December 6, 2019.

NOTE: ALL entrants will receive (after submitting your entry) a 10% OFF discount code for the upcoming Overflow Worship Conference as well as a link to create a FREE account with Songuard including one free song registration!
