We wanted to contact you and let you know that the Song of the Year song & lyric writing contest has received the votes from the judges for December’s round. Though your material did not place in the top 5 within it’s respective category, your material was still quite impressive. You did make our "Runner Up" placement as listed at http://www.songoftheyear.com/winners/2006/runnerups/dec/12runner06.htm
Only the first place winner from each category will move on toward the Song of the Year yearly competition. Just because you were not the monthly winner in December, you are still allowed to enter the same material or new material into the 2007 competition. Many of December's winners did not place the first time they entered in a previous round. We maintain a different set of judges each month to make sure that different opinions are considering the winners throughout the year.
Congratulations on your great songwriting and thank you for taking part of the Song of the Year contest.
