The Allingham Festival Songwriting Contest is back, offering songwriters the opportunity to win €1000!
Songwriters are invited to submit their entries using our online entry system or by CD. We welcome music of all styles. The deadline for entries is September 30th. A shortlist of entrants will then be invited to perform in our live final which will be held on Friday November 4th 2016.
The winner on the night will walk away €1000 richer, and will also be invited to perform again in our Saturday night concert the following evening.
Visit allinghamfestival.com/songwriting for more info and for a list of rules.
