SOCAN:
SOCAN is proud to announce the launch of the second annual ECHO Songwriting Prize and the Prix de la chanson ÉCHO, which highlight and celebrate the songwriting talents of some of the best independent, up-and-coming Anglophone and Francophone songwriters in Canada.
What it is: The Echo Songwriting Prize is designed to put the spotlight on some of this country?s up-and-coming songwriters who might not otherwise receive recognition for their work at this point in their careers. It?s also a unique opportunity for SOCAN to introduce itself to future members. Our members are of the utmost importance to us and we continually look to new initiatives to enhance the services we offer them.
How it works: Two independent panels each made up of ten (10) of the nation's top music community tastemakers, representing various regions of the country and musical genres, nominated a total of 30 songs related to each prize. Once the nomination process was complete, the panelists reviewed each of the nominated songs and, using a point-value system, determined the top five French and English songs to be voted on by the public. The public is then able to listen to the songs and vote for their favourite at www.echoprize.ca
