Everyone who attends gets a chance to be a co-writer in a new or existing song. Everyone has a
chance to play, observe and contribute to the process.
What to bring:
1. A new original song or an unfinished idea which you can perform and on which we can experiment.
2. A lyric sheet for a group (Slot-1 will make copies).
3. A healthy snack to share (no carbs, please).
Be ready to co-write and perform, and be open to the process. Hone your songwriting skills and
play your instrument in a pro setting. Bring your acoustic instrument; keyboards provided. This
workshop is focused on writing great songs and producing great demos of those songs. The goal is
to get these songs signed.

Philadelphia Songwriters Project 2010 Songwriting Contest
Philadelphia Songwriters Project welcomes submissions for its 2010 Songwriting Contest.
We’ve had great prizes in the past, but this is our biggest exposure package ever!
This year, the 2010 Winners will earn local, regional, and national performances
opportunities at several venues:
2010 Theme: Love Songs
Be creative! This means all kinds of love: for a child, a friend, a pet, a place,
your mom, God, a lover past or present. Love here now, long ago and far away, wished
for, or love gone astray. Whether it be a ballad, dance tune, chant or shanty, we want
to hear your emotion expressed musically and lyrically -- anything goes.
Performing Songwriters of all levels and all genres are welcome to submit.
Note: We love our non-performing songwriters, but as our prizes are live shows, we
request only performing songwriters enter for this contest.
Performances must be able to be stripped down to accommodate some venues.
Visit the PSP web site for all submission details.
Deadline for submissions is April 1, 2010.
