   THE MID-ATLANTIC SONG CONTEST 

presented by the Songwriters' Association of Washington


The 35th MASC winning songs are listed below. 

Thanks to all the people who write songs. And to all the people who submitted. This year there were so many good songs that too many people who deserved one didn't get an award. But songwriters and songwriting only get better and stronger as you support the craft, the art, the joy and madness that is being a songwriter. And that is the best reward for all of us who write and sing for all the right reasons.
