Songwriting competition "SONGS" enters the sixth round

Whether pop, rap, electro or rock, as a duo, solo or with a whole band - with "SONGS", pupils from Baden-Württemberg get the chance to bring their own SONGS to the big stage.
Pupils aged between eleven and 21 can apply together with an institution, e.g. a school, a music school or a youth centre. Prizes in kind will be awarded among the three best SONGS, which will provide the institutions with musical equipment. In addition, the winners will receive professional coaching at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg. For all singers in the final, the Popakademie also offers a one-day vocal camp.

At the SONGS final on 17 September 2021, selected participants will present their submitted SONGS live in front of an expert jury. The jury consists of the artist MINE, Prof. Udo Dahmen (Artistic Director and Managing Director of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg), Andreas Küchle (Head of Marketing at Sparda-Bank Baden-Württemberg), Nadime Romdhane (Deputy Head of Music bigFM) and Michelle Leonard (Member of the Supervisory Board of GEMA, artist, publisher and songwriter).

Workshops will be offered for teachers, on 23 April 2021 on songwriting and on 19 May 2021 on music video. All those interested in the sixth round can take part in a workshop on the topic of music video on 12 May 2021.

The deadline is 16 July 2021, all information is available here.
