    Stortford Young Songwriters Competition

    This brand-new competition will encourage young people from Bishop’s Stortford and the surrounding area to

    • express themselves,
    • celebrate their individuality,
    • find their voice and champion their opinions or observations in a new and creative way,
    • speak up about issues that they are passionate about or that are affecting their communities,
    • and be inspired by fellow songwriters. 

    There is no specific theme; this is a creative space for you to write about what interests you.

    Your song will be listened to and judged by an expert panel from a broad expanse of musical genres.

        The Judges
