About the MLT Songwriting Awards:

With prize money totaling $3.000, entries from all over New Zealand and Australia are received for the annual M.L.T. Songwriting Awards, which are open to all songwriters. Music and Lyrics of all entries must be deemed original by the judges and all songs must not be commercially released prior to judging.

Songs are judged by a panel of four, 10 finalists are selected, and although having been judged prior to the event, these songs are performed live at the M.L.T. Songwriting Awards evening, at which the Winners are announced. The writers have the option of performing the song themselves or having it performed for them.

About the MLT Songwriting Seminar:

The aim of the Mataura Licensing Trust Songwriting Seminar is to give songwriters access to information about songwriting and the encouragement to hone their skills.

Experienced New Zealand Songwriters will share their knowledge of the craft of songwriting. Their presentations may include performances and practical songwriting ideas.

Songwriting Industry representatives will explore such issues as: copyright of new material, royalties, the recording industry and opportunities for getting new material heard.
