NASHVILLE, TENN., USA - October 14, 2009 -- SongDoor 2009 entries must either be postmarked by November 15, 2009 or submitted online by midnight CST, November 15, 2009. All entrants receive a free self-paced online songwriting course at SongU.com, plus free melody-writing software.

"The only requirement to get the free course and free software is to enter one song," says SongDoor president Tony Zotta. "That's a $70 return on a $10 investment, not too bad in this economy."

SongDoor 2009 is presented in association with SongU.com, 16 Ton Studios, Hard Twist Music-BMI, MasterWriter, Spring Hill Studio Productions, Broadjam and Tanager Audioworks. The total prize purse is valued at more than $40,000. Entrants are eligible to win the Grand Award, valued at approximately USD $7,745 in music merchandise and services, including a single-song publishing contract with Hard Twist Music-BMI (owned by mega-hit songwriter Bill Shore), a full-band private session demo at 16 Ton Studios, Music Row's hottest recording facility, a one-year full-access membership to SongU.com, a copy of MasterWriter songwriting software, a suite of songwriting software from Tanager Audioworks, a Primo MoB membership to Broadjam, a leather gear bag and an autographed copy of two of hitmaker Jason Blume's best-selling songwriting books. Six Category Winners each receive a valuable package of awards valued at almost $4,670 including a first-rate guitar/vocal or keyboard/vocal demo and memberships to both SongU.com and Broadjam.
