WELCOME TO SONGDOOR!

Open April 15 - November 15



SongDoor is an annual worldwide songwriting competition that's open to amateurs and professionals, ages 16 and older. The deadline for entries is November 15, 2024.

Just to say thanks for entering, we'll give you FREE songwriting tools ($220 worth). No other competition does that because no other competition cares about their writers like we do. Here's the proof.

In light of the announcement that this will be SongDoor’s final year, you may have questions. Rest assured, this year’s competition will function like any other - the finalists will be announced on Jan. 8 and the winners on Jan. 22. An email giving you instructions for getting your free songwriting tools will be sent on/about Jan. 25 and all winners will receive their awards, as usual.

A very, very huge and heartfelt thanks to our incredible judges and sponsors who have stood with us for all these years. There is a special place in heaven for all of you!




Why Songwriters Love SongDoor

At the heart of it, it's because we care. We're here to help make you a better songwriter by giving you free opportunities and tools toward that goal.

Right behind that, it's because what we offer is a tremendous value. We're not here to make money; the entry fees and evaluation service cover our expenses, which we try to keep very low. That's why, year after year, people come back to SongDoor.
