| SAW thanks all those
who entered the 18th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. In
the past few months, judges have been exposed to the
inner passions, stories, songcraft, inspiration and
creativity of all the entrants. Those who attended our
gala at the Hard Rock Cafe had the great pleasure of
hearing the songs first hand by the songwriters and
musicians performing the songs themselves. As always, the
contest is the culmination of many months of hard work on
the part of judges, volunteers and most of all, the
participants of the contest. Norma Byron Contest Director |
