Singing Competition

NOTE: This singing competition is based upon a minimum of 100 entries for each quarterly contest. We at Mile High Music Productions work on the honor system: for each additional 100 entries in any given quarter, your cash prize will go up an additional $100 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places as well!!

So if there were 600 entries in one quarter, the first prize winner will receive $1,500 plus all the other benefits! Second place would get $1,000 and their extra benefits, and third place would receive $700 plus extras. You can't beat a deal like that for only a $30.00 risk, can you? The sky's the limit!

In fact, if you think about it, this is a type of profit-sharing between us: the more entries, the more both of us make. Just imagine what 1,000 entries would bring in for all three-place winners!! Not an impossibility on the world-wide net!

When we decide winners for each contest, we will notify those winners about how many entries there were for that contest. If there are less than 100 entries in one quarter--highly unlikely--then we will notify you as such, and promptly return your submission along with your payment. In that case, we'll continue on with our usual contests the next quarterly period, if your choose to re-submit.
No payments to us will be cashed until after the deadline for submissions and until after we determine the number of entries reaches a minimum of 100. Fair enough? Just don't forget to give us your name and address when you submit your cassette and payment!

In turn, we don't allow refunds on your submissions or checks while we are holding them. This is only fair, as we're sure you realize. We will only return your cassette or CD if the number of entries is less than 100 (but you'll still get your money back, of course!).

We have a number of judges who will listen to and analyze your songs. These people are very experienced and highly capable of song analysis and criticism. In other words, no one single person will judge your songs: it will be a combined effort. Several reviews will take place, a kind of weeding out process. The winners will be based upon the majority opinion of our reviewers. There will be a minimum of three judges for these contests (perhaps more): two from our company, and at least one outside source. This is to assure a fair and unbiased hearing.
Do we have a deal? Good! And GOOD LUCK with your submission!

When you're finished with this page, go to the actual SINGING COMPETITION ORDER FORM for further instructions. The link is at the bottom of this page.

Our submissions will be broken down into category types, and all three winning prizes will be determined by categories (winners in each category). If your category is very different, we will make a decision on where to enter your songs based upon how similar they are in style to our existing categories.

If you submit songs that are extremely unusual or don't fit the normal commercial mode, there probably won't be enough submissions in your area to have a contest for. That's why we will determine a category for you, so you can still have a chance at winning one of the three prizes in each category.
GOOD LUCK! Remember: we will notify you if you are a contest winner. If you don't hear from us, please try again during another quarterly contest.

Keep in mind: a non-winner doesn't necessarily mean a poor quality submission; rather, we may have had an unusually large submission load for that period.

We have four contests based upon time periods: Summer Contest , Fall Contest , Winter Contest , and Spring Contest . If you submitted songs in all four time periods, you have four chances to win each year!
The deadlines for submissions are as follows: Summer Contest (August 31st); Fall Contest (November 30th); Winter Contest (February 28); and Spring Contest (May 31st).
Decisions and notifications of the winners of each contest will be made sometime at the end of the following months: Summer Contest (September); Fall Contest (December); Winter Contest ((March); and Spring Contest (June).
In each of our three CONTEST ENTRY FORMS, there is a place to indicate which time period you are submitting for. But first, go to the singing, songwriting, or band contest link at the bottom of this page. From there, you can go to the appropriate entry form.

To submit your song for review in our Quarterly Singing Competition, please include a $30.00 money order or cashier's check (or $50.00 for 2 songs). This fee covers a one quarter contest; any additional quarters you choose to enter requires the same fee again.

Please submit your payment along with your CD or cassette to the address listed in each of the Contest Entry Forms. But first, you must go to the links for whatever contest you are entering at the bottom of this page. From there, you will find the appropriate link to the actual entry form you need.

Enter this information in our CONTEST ORDER FORM. Don't forget to send your order form with your CD or cassette and payment!

Thank you and good luck! I hope we can bring you good news about your submission. Don't forget that it takes 1-3 months for winners to be chosen and announced (depending upon when you submitted your CD or cassette). If you don't hear from us after that time period, perhaps you'll submit again for another contest period. Due to the number of submissions, we cannot write to everyone who submits to tell them the results. If you're a winner, you'll hear from us! If you're not (this time around), we thank you now and keep on writing!

GUARANTEED!! If you request, we will ask the winners for their permission to give you their e-mail or postal address so you can contact them. All quarterly contest winners will be posted on our site.

6. Name the title of each song at the beginning of each recorded song.
7. Leave about 5-10 seconds space between each song.
