2008 BARMUSIC.COM SONG OF THE YEAR COMPETITION IS COMING SOON!

All songs must have been released for publication for the very first time from 1-1-2007 to 12-31-2008. It does not matter when the song was actually written, because sometimes songs take years to write. The release or public performance date is all we care about in the contest. All songs must be written and owned 100% by the individual(s) performing the song. A band may perform a song as long as the writer(s) are 100% performing members of the band. This means covers or even partial covers are not allowed. This also means you can not buy an original song from the original writer and claim it was your song, even though you legally own it now. Only one vote per person will be allowed! Using different email addresses will also not be allowed. THIS IS NOT AMERICAN IDOL WHERE YOU CAN STUFF THE BALLOT BOX WITH MULTIPLE CALLS AND VOTES!!!!!! Any song nominated in the previous song of the year contest is not eligible in the new contest.
