We play music at weddings and funerals, at coronations and political rallies, in headphones and over speakers. In films, music can build suspense or resolve the moment; at night, music can lull us to sleep. “ANYTHING can be a song seed,” writes former Guest Judge Avanti Nagral. So, dear writers, will you devise a melancholy melody or an electrifying tune that makes us want to dance? Whichever you choose, write a song of your own—and record it if you’d like! This month, we’ll select two winners, one for best lyrics and another for best performance.
**PRIZES**
Best Lyrics and Best Performance Winner will each receive $100. Best Peer Review will receive $50.
