Australian Songwriting Contest 2020 entrants who have been successfully shortlisted in this year’s lively competition, have now been notified by direct email. Congratulations to those who achieved this first step in the judging process. The quality has been high and participation outstanding, so shortlisting is a great achievement. The coveted Top 30 spots for each category will be posted on the ASA website in mid-December.

For anyone who’s not already aware, the National Songwriting Awards (where the Top 10 will be announced and saluted on stage), have been postponed until a date early in 2021. We’re hoping for March, but have to wait to see what the COVID19 restrictions are doing by then. It would be great to have everyone from across the nation, in particular our poor Victorian members, able to fully participate in the show. So stay tuned!
