SongDoor is the only competition that provides every single entrant with a free, unlimited access 90-day trial to SongU.com, plus a different songwriting e-book every year. (We stopped giving away free software because there are now so many free apps available.)

Why do we do it? Because we want to help you be a better songwriter. No strings, no obligations. Ask anyone who's entered a song—they'll tell you.

When you enter one of the "big" contests, you send your song and your entry fee and you're dang lucky to hear anything again. We are different, and you will find this out in a hurry if you ever contact us about anything.

For the people who take a dim view of songwriting contests:

We do not - repeat: do not - get any kind of kickback from any of our sponsors. Our entry fee is less than half of what other major competitions charge, and at $15, is by far the lowest out there for a reputable competition. The songwriter services we provide are not profit-making ventures; we virtually break even on them. We do this because we are songwriters; our friends and colleagues are songwriters; and we know what's it's like. We give everybody $220 worth of songwriting tools for a $15 entry fee, meaning we give away far more than we take in. Believe it or not, we are not in this for the money. If we were, we'd charge $40 an entry (or more!) and double our songwriter services fees. This is why we have the most loyal group of entrants on the planet.

In sum, we're here to help you be a better songwriter and to get your music heard by someone who can actually do something about it. If you have any questions, or suggestions for making the site or the competition better, please email us. We love hearing from you all.

Kind regards, The SongDoor Crew
