Music Icons to Judge 2012 International Songwriting Competition

The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has again assembled a diverse panel of judges that consists of some of the most iconic artists in the world coupled with influential music executives from all walks of the industry. Tom Waits, Nas, Martina McBride, McCoy Tyner, Jeff Beck, Bernie Taupin, Janelle Monae, Susan Tedeschi & Derek Trucks, And Many More Join ISC’s Judging Panel.

Open to both amateur and professional songwriters, ISC offers 22 categories to enter, representing all genres of popular music, from Rock to Jazz to Blues to Hip-Hop, and more. Past winners have included Grammy winners, chart-topping artists, hobbyist songwriters, and everyone in between. Winners have included Gotye, Kimbra, The Band Perry, Andrew Bird, Kate Miller-Heidke, Gin Wigmore, Missy Higgins, Carbon Leaf, King Charles, and many more.

Getting an artist’s music into the hands (and ears) of the music industry’s heavy hitters is one of the most difficult goals to accomplish, yet ISC provides this opportunity to all its finalists. All entries are carefully evaluated by an internal listening committee and narrowed down to approximately 350 finalists. These finalists then get sent to the ISC judges who select the winners.
