2010 Theme: Love Songs - Be creative! This means all kinds of love: for a child, a friend, a pet, a place, your mom, God, a lover past or present. Love here now, long ago and far away, wished for, or love gone astray. Whether it be a ballad, dance tune, chant or shanty, we want to hear your emotion expressed musically and lyrically… anything goes.

Details: Performing Songwriters of all levels and all genres are welcome to submit. We love our non-performing songwriters, but as our prizes are live shows, we request only performing songwriters enter for this contest.

Performances must be able to be stripped down to accommodate some venues.

Visit www.phillysongwriters.com for all submission details.

The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2010.

The Philadelphia Songwriters Project is an arts and education organization dedicated to serving songwriters since 2002.

XAQUE remains the only US based band to have performed in concert with Portuguese artists of this magnitude?��Ǩ�� Having fostered a relationship with RUI VELOSO, XAQUE believed his collaboration on their recordings would bring more awareness to their project. In the Winter of 1996 Rui Veloso returned to the United States to participate. While on this journey, the band decided to reveal new approaches to a few of their tracks. In January of 2001 "EVOLUCAO UNPLUGGED?��Ǩ�� was released. The CD title was fitting and featured acoustical interpretation of "HEROI DO MAR" and "PRISIONEIRO" as well as a re-mastered versions of the original 1995 releases. This new CD reinforced the band's commitment to creating awareness of Portuguese music. Today XAQUE find themselves survivors of life?��Ǩ�Ѣs challenges, and on October 15th of 2002, the anticipation ended. Xaque released their much-anticipated follow up CD to EVOLUCAO UNPLUGGED titled ALMA NUA featuring performances with the father of Portuguese Rock & Roll, Rui Veloso.
