I have so many people saying they are excited about the writers contest. Only two entries thus far and they are not even on the nation or builders sites, however they're prepared to use CBG's and want those prizes. So you local boys are going get a run for the money as they say. I'm not worried, this is nothing new to me. I have confidence there will be a flood of entries. The sooner the better so the judges can prepare. Entries must be postmarked no later than May 15, 2014.

If you can write a song you can enter. You even have someone else perform your song for you. You may also win not only wonderful gifts but having your music reviewed by professionals.

Entry's starting to come in. The more entry's, the more fun for all. All I can say is, we've opened the door and offered the prizes. It's time to step up and be involved. Writers can have any musician play their material to win. Prizes will have to be shared jointly for each entry. Any questions, feel free to ask! : )
