Title: December Lyric of the Month
Post by: pompeyjazz on December 22, 2015, 11:47:24 PM: Phew 😌 what an exhausting day. I am shocked and amazed (And humbled) to discover that I have survived the process and will be hosting December Lyric of the month competition. Don't worry you guys there are still a few days to get your entries in. I will be composing a top five as per the rules that Mr Ads defined last month. So send me your nominations 1 2 and 3 and I will deliberate with the panel of judges over the new year. There have been rumors on social media that Mr Ads might wear that dress again :o. Voting closes on 2nd Jan then results a week later

Hope everyone enjoys a bit of a break and wonderful to have met all you Songwriters this year.

Cheers

I have a question, how can you send your lyrics to be nominated? I might be planning do so. It sounds super exciting!

Please PM me with your votes for 1,2 and 3. Voting closes at midnight GMT on 15th January and the results will be anounced soon afterwards.

Get voting guys :)

My vote is on it's way (though not for my own entry of course ;D)
