Song Of The Year Awards

Song Of The Year Award June 2013
Even though your material did not place as a Winner or Finalist, you still did incredibly well in the contest with two of your songs.

Your song "A Soul Once On Fire" received the "Semi-Finalist" placement as listed on your personalized placement page at: A Soul Once On Fire

You also received a secondary placement with "Hearts Slowly Dance" that received a "Runner-Up" placement as listed at: Hearts Slowly Dance

In every contest, there are five "Semi-Finalists" in each category. The "Semi-Finalist" placement is the highest placement next only to the one winner and four finalists from each category. The next five highest placing songs (under the "Semi-Finalist" placements) are the "Runner-Ups". Both the "Semi-Finalist" and "Runner-Up" placements indicate that your songs were in the top 1% of all of the entries in the contest.

The male vocals on both songs sound very professional and both songs have wonderful production qualities!
Receiving two placements within the same contest is fairly uncommon. Great job and congratulations on your songwriting placements!

Song Of The Year award Oct 2010
Marilyn Oakley - "Night Wolf Lover" (cowritten w/ Allan Licht)
Even though my material did not place as a Winner or Finalist, "Night Wolf Lover" did extremely well in the contest as it received the "Semi-Finalist" placement in the contest. The ""Semi-Finalist"" placement is the highest songwriting placement next only to the one winner and four finalists. Receiving this placement indicates I was just a few points away from the Finalist placement. Only the top writers receive this placement.
