International Songwriting Competition

According to their website, “The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) is an annual song contest whose mission is to provide the opportunity for both aspiring and established songwriters to have their songs heard in a professional, international arena.”

This year, Tom Waits was one of about three dozen artists who judged the contest. And Dr. Demento was among the industry executives who weighed in. So, it’s a pretty big deal.

We only mention it because they have a comedy/novelty category. And this year, two comedians were among the top three– Heywood Banks won 1st place for “Toast” and Pat Godwin took third with “First Date.”
