Posted in News on January 9, 2005
Songwriter101.com members are invited to apply for one of Performing Songwriter magazine's "Be Heard" Scholarships to this year's Kauai Music Festival, being held May 26-29, 2005. Sponsored by BMI and Songwriter101.com, a website and user community focused on the business side of songwriting, each of the two scholarships is valued at over $2,000 and will cover airfare, hotel costs, a per diem and registration fees.

Now in its third year, the Kauai Music Festival provides a unique opportunity for aspiring songwriters to learn and improve their craft under the tutelage of some of the best songwriters in the world. This multi-faceted four-day event, also sponsored by BMI, features seminar-style instruction for small groups in a variety of settings to promote the creative spirit, as well as lectures and panel discussions by hit songwriters, music publishers, entertainment attorneys, producers and other industry professionals.

As an added bonus, every applicant will receive a one-year subscription to Performing Songwriter magazine, starting with the May 2005 issue (if you're already a subscriber, a year will be tacked on to your existing subscription).

You must be a Songwriter101.com member to enter.
