Well all you songsmiths out there we haven't had an competition since the Super Scary Halloweeny one last October.
And personally I always find in an interesting challenge to write to a brief.
So is there any appetite out there and if so suggestions for the theme?
How about 'dreams as a starter for 10?

Hi Neil,

i'm in, and I'm dragging Diademgrove and CrystalSuzy in with me as we started a collab a while back which is a song about dreams. This would give us a reason to finish it.

Hi Neil

I'm interested, but would this theme be about dreams you have when asleep or about following your dream as I was about to post on the lyric forum a song about a dream I had some years ago which was so vivid I wrote a lyric of all that happened in it, or can it be either.

Cheers

Royston.

Hi, dreams is just an idea but if people like it then great.
Certainly i think the trick is too be not too restrictive in terms of interpretation so its up to you.

Are more people up for it with say a July submission date?

What do other songwriting competitions do?

I'll be happy to arrange this perhaps with someone else's support? Any volunteers?

YOu don't have to drag me Digger :) I'm right behind you  :o

 I agree! DREAMS would be an awesome topic :) So it's settled then, and July sounds splendid  :)

Hi Neil et al

Yeah - sounds like a dreamy contest! But the superstar combo of digger/CS/Diademgrove is gonna be hard to beat! And they've already started - gah!

I'm in

A nightmare counts as a dream, right? OK, I'm all in!
But be warned, it will take me pretty much exactly 3 minutes to blow all competition out of the water. You have been warned... ;D ;D

I've got numerous existing "Dreams" songs.  If you guys don't mind me entering an already existing (but currently unfinished) song, I'm in.

Great,
Sounds like we have a competition then.
I'll have a little think about the timescales and 'rules'. Want to encourage collabs and be open to all.

I'm am a little concerned that Alan Starkie has already started and then we have our own dream queen CS with her dream team;D
