From “The Essential Secrets of Songwriting” website:
If you’ve written songs that you think are winners, one great way to get them out there is to enter them in a songwriting contest. The Muse’s Muse website contains listings of many songwriting contests for you to consider.
Remember that before you enter any competition, or indeed before sending your songs anywhere, you should ensure that they are properly protected by having the copyright regsitered with your national government’s copyright office.
