RESULTS OF THE 2009
The Music Aid Song Contest and Music Awards is different from every other songwriting contest. In our event it doesn't matter if you win or not because EVERYONE who enters gets exactly the same prizes - a total of $100 for each entrant. But on top of that the winners also receive the prestige of being chosen as the best entry in their category by our producers, the Music Aid Academy and our sponsors and partners. Below are the results of the 2009 contest. The categories are Best Songwriter, Best Band, Best Female Solo Artist, Best Male Solo Artist, Best Composition and Best Music Video. We have listed the winner and nominees in each category and also provided a list of those artists that were selected for a Special Mention by the judges. We have linked to each of the winners' websites so that you can check them out for yourself.
