Hi,

I entered 5 songs into this competition for the first time this year. I managed 2 semi final places and 3 commended so I'm happy especially as I only started writing and playing guitar last year. Anyone else enter?

Never entered any of those over here, I almost entered the John Lennon one a few years ago but was told it was pretty much just a moneymaker off the entry fees...Congratulations on your entries over there, I may have to give one of thois a go and see what happens...BTW - at least it's snowing on the Forum...wish it were here as well for the Christmas holiday!

Hi Montydog.
I entered a couple of songs in the second half part of this competition(well done you) I got the first response with free membership to Songu and Broadjam but nothing else. Have they announced the results now?
If  I must travel can I take the cynic route?

That's impressive Montydog.  :) In which categories did you enter?
I entered 3 myself just to test the waters and I got two commended and
I also reached the semi final, in the instrumental category. I enetered that "Bubbles in Puddles" piece I
did a while ago. I was quite shocked but really chuffed of course.
You got two semi final spots, so hats off to you.  :)

I entered five, and managed 1 x 'finalist', 3 x 'semi-finalist', and 1 x 'commended'. I got a kick out of that, especially as I'd forgotten I entered the contest. Results came out last week.

Well done all.
My co writer and I got two "commended" rated 6 first time of entering  and first time writing together. We're happy with that too.
