<br />
After an incredibly difficult selection process for our judges to choose all of the Grand Prize Winners for Session I, 2013 and Session II, 2013 we finally arrive at the Lennon Awards. This online voting battle pits the Session I winner of each category against the Session II winner of that same category.<br />
<br />
The best part about the Lennon Awards is that YOU decide who will become a winner. Simply visit <a href="http://www.jlsc.com/vote">www.jlsc.com/vote</a> and vote one time per day in each category, every day until the voting period ends on April 29th. The Lennon Award winner in each category will be announced on May 1st!<br />
<br />
Support your favorite songs now because the Lennon Award winners will then be played for our Executive Judges panel (which includes songwriters/artists such as George Clinton, Prince Royce, Jim Steinman, 311, Switchfoot, etc.) who will collectively decide who wins the $20,000 Song of the Year prize!The John Lennon Songwriting Contesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15166269577174881550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206056288910201579.post-23662716984945616402014-03-31T16:21:00.004-04:002014-03-31T16:23:01.693-04:00JLSC Finalist Goes Viral!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When you tons of entries from talented songwriters around the world, it takes a lot of time and effort to pick Finalists, let alone Grand Prize Winners or the Song of the Year. <a href="http://www.jonasfriddle.com/">Jonas Friddle and the Majority</a> entered their song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z41bYCto2Cw">"Belle De Louisville"</a> in Session I of 2012 and just last week they took home the coveted Song of the Year. A year later after winning $20,000, Jonas Friddle's journey with the John Lennon Songwriting Contest is just beginning.<br />
<br />
Now we're carefully listening to all of the entries from 2013 Session I and trying to find the next big songwriter. The entries this year have been strong as ever but our <a href="http://jlsc.com/judges.php">JLSC judges</a> such as Fergie, Sean Paul, Bob Weir, and Natasha Bedingfield have been working hard to pick our winners and the results will be announced on September 1st.<br />
<br />
Want to have your song heard by our judges and have a chance at winning <a href="http://jlsc.com/prizes.php">our incredible prizes</a> like $20,000 in cash, as well as gear from <a href="http://www.avid.com/US/">Avid</a>, <a href="http://www.mackie.com/">Mackie</a>, <a href="http://www.rolandus.com/">Roland</a> and <a href="http://www.voxamps.com/us/">Vox</a>?

<br />
We'd like to offer a HUGE congratulations to our 2012 Song of the Year recipients Jonas Friddle and the Majority for their song "Belle de Louisville"! You can check out the song <a href="http://jlsc.com/winners/2012b/song_of_the_year.php">here</a>. They took home the Grand Prize in the Folk category and edged out all of our other great Grand Prize Winners to claim $20,000 in cash, an <a href="http://www.avid.com/US/">Avid</a> prize package, a $1,000 <a href="http://mackie.com/">Mackie</a> prize package, and a $1,000 gift certificate to <a href="http://www.digitalmediaacademy.org/">Digital Media Academy</a>.<br />
<br />
Jonas Friddle and The Majority make music that is both timeless and immediate. They met at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music and make orchestral folk music that pairs traditional American instrumentation with intricate rythmes and harmonies. Bandleader Jonas Friddle, a North Carolina native, is a banjo virtuoso with a voice to match and his top-notch songwriting is reminiscent of American legends like Buddy Holly. You can watch Jonas Friddle and The Majority perform their award-winning "Belle De Louisville" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrOYVLb9lJk">here</a> and watch and an interview with the band <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpfkFd14oeY">here</a>.<br />
<br />
It's always hard to pick just one song but Jonas Friddle and The Majority and "Belle de Louisville" represent songwriting at its finest and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to share his music with the world. The next session of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest has already begun so if you think you have what it takes to win Song of the Year like Jonas Fiddle, then head to the <a href="http://jlsc.com/">JLSC website</a> to learn about the contest, judges, prizes, past winners and more.The John Lennon Songwriting Contesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15166269577174881550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4206056288910201579.post-29007624622751697342013-07-19T14:09:00.001-04:002013-07-19T14:09:56.629-04:00Lennon Award WinnersHey folks,<br />

<br />
Just wanted to share a couple songs from some of the very talented artists that have won in the past:<br />
<br />
Lunic took home the Grand Prize in the electronic category in 2012 for her beat making skills and violen chops. Talk about multi-talented! Check out the video for here song "Self Destruct" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR-F9K1kyx0">here</a>.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for something a little smoother, check out the video for Banky W's song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kRnrIh0hyA">"Yes/No"</a>. Banky took the Grand Prize in 2006 and not only does he have the voice of an angel, but he's also an activist and community-builder. His blog <a href="http://www.bankywonline.com/blog/">The Bank Statements</a> gives some insight into this incredible man's mind.<br />
<br />
And finally, for the children, take a look at the wonderfully zany Gustafer Yellowgold who was a Grand Prize Winner in 2008 in the Children's category. Gustafer makes music that's accesible enough for children yet interesting enough for adults. Don't believe me? Check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STA1JGV34kE">the video for "I'm From the Sun"</a>.<br />
<br />
