USA Songwriting Competition deadline is today

We have posted a few times recently about the USA Songwriting Competition, an international contest where folk, bluegrass and Americana songwriters have done well this past few years.

The original information we received from them had indicated a deadline of May 31, but they have extended it to June 30 – today. Songwriters can submit an entry online using an MP3 file on the USA Songwriting web site. Submissions can also be sent by mail, but must be postmarked today to be accepted for consideration.
