Sophie Daniels, ICMP’s Head of Songwriting, said: "We're excited to be once again partnering with the Song Academy on their Young Songwriter Competition. It offers a great platform for young writers to get their music heard.
I really enjoy the judging process and the passionate approach of the fantastic judging panel which brings together songwriting experts like Dr Simon Barber from Sodajerker, big name writers like Eg White and Guy Chambers and well-known artists like Tom Odell and Imelda May.”
We’ve worked with Song Academy to develop their assessment mechanisms and the whole creative department here has been in engaged in the process of working together to help build the thinking behind the competition."
