2021 SASS-Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise Song Contest

If you have young songwriters in your family, please invite them to check out the free YouTube workshops: The SASS Virtual Songwriting Series. There are now over a dozen interviews with caring music mentors who encourage young artists to find their own voice and express their ideas. This is the latest conversation with the wonderful Kim Wheatley. https://youtu.be/Vk_dN3xQPCA

Thank you for all of the excellent entries in our summer song contest. Round one of evaluations has begun, with judges listening three times to each selection and offering feedback. In ten days, the strongest entries will go on to the second round of judging with a different panel of experts. The top three in each of the elementary, secondary, and adult categories will be informed mid-August of their standings and prizes of $500, $300, or $200 cash from the Rotary Club of Whitby Sunrise, or a $75 gift certificate from Long & McQuade Oshawa. An online awards ceremony will take place the first week of September to congratulate these extraordinary songwriters. As the contest progresses, we will keep you informed, here!
