November will be the most hectic month on the ASA Calendar as we build to our 2012 National Songwriting Awards Night. Pretty soon our Finals Judges will come up with the Top Ten place getters in every Category of the ASA 2012 Song Contest. They will of course be announced and feted on our special evening in December. It will be huge. Between now and then there is just enough time to check out the ASA November 2012 e-mag. Our Vice Chairman/Financial Officer/Editor Alan Gilmour has been slaving away as usual to bring you lots of interviews and stories about Members, along with helpful hints from some of Australia’s best Songwriters. The 2012 Song Contest Finalists are also listed. All in all, it is just the thing to get you in the mood for the Awards. So read on and get ready for the big night on Wednesday 12 December. Remember, if you are a Songwriter you should belong to the ASA.

Cheers, Alan Gilmour Top 25 Category Winners in the 2012 Australian Songwriting Contest We are pleased to announce that the following entrants have made it through the Second Round of judging in the 2012 Australian Songwriting Contest. Congratulations to them all. Please note that some Top 25 Category lists contain more than 25 songs as a result of ties in their rankings. In the event of ties, all songs go through to the final round of judging. Here we go!!! Good luck and congratulations if you made it. If you didn't make it, keep writing and try again...the standard was very high, so some great songs unfortunately had to be cut.
