Everyone who enters is part of a highly respected international songwriting event and everyone receives a score/grade from the judges for each song plus certificates. (These scores/grades are officially recognised by the examiners at the MA International Music Academy and others). Taking part in this event can also lead to career success.

This year Katie Kittermaster was nominated by the UKSC as one of the UK representatives in The Commonwealth Song Contest and she then went on to win the whole international event, narrowly beating the Australian entry, which was also a UKSC Finalist. Leigh Haggerwood's Christmas Song entry was signed as the theme song for a major UK nationwide network TV show, has over 40 million (40,000,000) YouTube views and was playlisted in over 140,000 stores worldwide! UKSC winner Belle Humble has written for major artists, film and TV and has topped charts globally since winning the UKSC. Our Olympic Theme Winner was recorded and released by well known Juno Awards founder and producer Mel Shaw.
