The Nashville Songwriter's Association International (NSAI) has again partnered with CMT for the
12th
annual NSAI Song Contest Presented by CMT, which began Monday (Aug. 1). Aspiring songwriters in any genre are encouraged
to send their best songs to be judged by a panel of experts. A new lyric-only category has been added this year. The grand
prize includes a mentoring session with songwriter/musician/industry icon,
Charlie
Daniels. The entry fees are $35.00 (current NSAI members) and $45.00 (nonmembers) per song submitted. Songwriters may
submit as many songs as they would like, but the preceding fees apply to each song submitted. Entries will be accepted from
Aug. 1 until Oct. 31, 2011. For details on submitting songs as well as the official prizes and rules and regulations,
