The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has launched Unsigned Only, a new, international music competition. Designed for solo artists, bands, and singers who are not signed to a major record label, Unsigned Only’s goal is to find an outstanding, talented performing artist or band.

“We are pleased to introduce a new music competition of this caliber to artists throughout the world,” says the Founders of Unsigned Only, Jim Morgan and Candace Avery Having. “Having worked with a wide variety of artists over many years, we know that what artists want most is access to record label professionals. However, it is virtually impossible for most up-and-coming artists to have direct access to this elite and elusive group of decision makers. So, Unsigned Only is offering the unprecedented opportunity for the Grand Prize winner to network with and be mentored by a prestigious group of record label executives. This has never been done before, and we are excited about the possibilities it affords the Unsigned Only winner.” (more…)
