The competition has added Nashville’s famed Dark Horse Institute as a major sponsor for this year’s event.
Billed by many as the world’s most prestigious music competition, the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has announced the addition of Nashville’s Dark Horse Institute as a major sponsor for their 2016 competition, with over $36,000 of free recording time up for grabs as part of the total prize package.

Described by The New York Times as “the songwriting competition to take note of”, ISC itself gives away more than $150,000 in cash and prizes to its winners each year, including a $25,000 Grand Prize and over $40,000 in prizes, and is an incredible opportunity for aspiring musicians to pave their way and receive international exposure, as have many winners before them.
