2024 Singing News Songwriters Search

Starting June 1, 2024 to November 1, 2024 – you can enter the 2024 Singing News Songwriter Search.

We are excited to announce the 2024 Singing News Songwriter Search. The last two years have been so rewarding and exciting that we decided to keep the momentum. Some incredible songs and new songwriters have come forward and we are blessed to be a small part of their journey as they write words and music to glorify the Lord and uplift His people. The Songwriter Search will be open longer this year and, even though all topics and subjects are welcome, we want to mention Christmas and Resurrection songs are encouraged. The Songwriter Search is open to all non-professional songwriters to submit their original songs.

A non-professional songwriter is defined as one who has never had an original song on the Singing News Top 40 Chart; and one who is not currently under an exclusive publishing contract. The Songwriter Search is now open. The final deadline to receive entries is November 1, 2024. Entries postmarked after November 1, 2024, will be returned.
