In their mission to encourage the next generation of songwriters, the Tucson Desert Song Festival Songwriting Competition and Showcase offers southern Arizona students in grades K-12 the unique opportunity to write original songs as they compete for a chance to have these songs performed live during the Festival. Students submit their lyrics along with a recording of the piece, which are then evaluated by a panel of judges who select finalists from each age category to perform at the showcase. Winners are decided at the showcase and are awarded cash prizes and scholarship opportunities. Interested students may apply online by November 27, 2017.
