| THE MID-ATLANTIC SONG CONTESTpresented by the Songwriters' Association of Washington |
The Songwriters’ Association of Washington (SAW) presents the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (MASC) to help songwriters receive recognition for their work and to further excellence in songwriting through education. Entrants compete for monetary awards, other prizes such as recording credits, and MASC Awards Show and other performance opportunities. Gold, Silver, Finalist and Honorable Mention awards are presented in each category, and overall awards include a Director’s Award, Young Artist Awards, three Overall Grand Prizes, and other special awards. Now in its 37th year, the MASC has added three new categories for 2020: Video, Covid-19 songs, and Freedom songs. |
Yes, there are rules to the contest and prizes (read all about that here) but here is our promise: we listen carefully and thoughtfully to all these songs, and our judges do as well. We brag about our judges (never which categories they judge) because we are proud of the people who help us decide. Your entry fee, in addition to making you eligible for all the prizes, provides funding for many educational and networking opportunities in the art and business of songwriting, and supports DMV songwriters, other music organizations and music events through SAW programming. SAW provides emerging songwriters with performance opportunities, workshops, and peer critique. For more information, visit the SAW website.
