A HUGE THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who took part in the contest this year. We know for a fact that every song, whether it made the final or not, was heard and LOVED by someone.
Your songs made this summer a little brighter.

We would also like to thank everyone who took the time to vote in the public poll and, of course, give a huge thank you to our excellent judges who gave their care and attention to every song, helping us ensure fair results.
