Alabama Tourism announces songwriters contest

In Alabama, we’ve been known to sing a song or two. And we sure do write plenty of them as well. Yes, songwriting talent runs deep here, and we’re looking for the next great Alabama songwriter to pen and perform a terrific tune that celebrates our great state.

What’s in it for you? Well, the winner will receive $2,000 plus a day of studio time at the legendary Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals. In addition, the three runners-up will each receive $500. We’re taking submissions immediately and your entry must be postmarked by May 20, 2011 to be considered. So if you’re a songwriter - or dream of becoming one - sit yourself right down and get to work. We can’t wait to hear what you’ve got.
