The Date With a Publisher Contest provides independent songwriters with the opportunity to have the full attention of some of Country Music’s most influential publishers and pitch their songs. Broadjam members are invited to submit their best Country songs, and if you are selected you’ll be invited to spend time in Las Vegas with some of the most established publishers in Country Music. On top of that, winners will get tickets to the 44th Academy of Country Music awards at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. All you have to do is get yourself there, and Broadjam will take care of the rest. Read what last years winners had to say about their experience:
Tina Dod – Date winner in 2008
What a weekend to remember! Thank you Roy, and the amazing Broadjam staff! A-1, first class! You all knocked yourselves out the entire weekend! It felt more like a fun family reunion than a meeting - getting to know Roy and the staff and the other writers - I'd seen and heard of them through Broadjam and also CMT and NSAI. There were many great moments - the dinner on Friday at the Luxor, the New Artists show, the ACM's and that All Star jam after party! -Tina Dod
Jim Bennet – Date winner in 2008
Thank you to Roy and all of the rest of the Broadjam staff that went to Vegas. It was a fantastic weekend. Meeting with Roy at dinner the night before the pitch to the publishers day was quite an experience. If you ever get a chance to take a Broadjam trip, don't hesitate. It's worth every penny. Thank you Roy and Broadjam. You all kick ass! -Jim Bennet
Liz Miller – Date winner in 2008
Big shout out to Roy and the Broadjam team for creating a wonderful, wild time for the five of us. -Liz Miller
Claire Ulanoff - Date winner in 2008
Yeah, it was amazing - thank you Roy and Broadjam for putting together an incredible weekend. It's kind of cool to be able to impress some of Nashville's finest with your music on Saturday morning and then be blown away by pretty much hanging out around the stage while Keith Urban is up there rockin' the house on Saturday night. The awards show on Sunday was great fun and it was also great to get to meet some of my fellow Broadjam writers over the weekend. -Claire Ulanoff
Ed Williams – Date winner in 2008
What can I say but WOW! What a great opportunity. And to have it happen in a city like Las Vegas during ACM weekend - that was just icing on the cake. Thank you Roy and everyone at Broadjam for making the dream pitch meeting come true. Nobody gets the undivided attention of music publishers like that, and to have them all in one room and anxious to meet us all was truly amazing. Did I get some offers? Like they say "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" so I can't really get more specific right now............but WOW - Thank You Broadjam! This has opened doors for me that might have never opened without your support. -Ed Williams
