Alberts and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy are pleased to announce the 2013 Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition – the largest charity songwriting competition in the world.
This year, $50,000 cash will go to the winner, who’ll join other Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition veterans such as Kimbra and Megan Washington.
“The $50,000 cash prize for the winning songwriter this year has taken this competition to a new level,” said APRA|AMCOS CEO Brett Cottle.
“It’s exciting to not only support songwriters with incredible prizes, but to make a real difference. Music therapy improves the lives of children and adults across the world. This year, we hope the Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition will raise more funds for music therapy than ever before.”
This unique charity fundraising songwriting competition supports talented songwriters whilst raising much needed funds for music therapy, that has been proven to help people with developmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Rett Syndrome and Angelman Syndrome and disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Dyspraxia and Spina Bifida.
All songwriters across the world can enter by donating $50 AU per song. All proceeds raised will go directly to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy.
