The theme

The theme for the first ever 24 Hour Songwriting Challenge is ACROSS THE THRESHOLD. Yes, we know it’s corny picking the name of the festival, but you can’t really blame us, can you? We’re sure you’ll agree it opens up so many different songwriting possibilities and we can’t wait to see what all you talented songwriters out there come up with. It’s totally up to you how you interpret it – just remember songs that make it to the Showcase Event will be judged on lyrics, melody, composition and originality.


Race against the clock

Songwriters have between 1pm on Friday 13th April to 1pm Saturday 14th April when the 24 hour countdown timer runs out.


Only 20 places guaranteed

Not only will songwriters be battling against the clock to write their song in time, they’ll also be racing against other songwriters to claim one of only 20 guaranteed places available at the Showcase Event which starts at 1pm on Saturday 15th April at Hobo Kiosk Pub. Those wishing to claim a place will need to upload a document containing the lyrics for their finished song in order to register.
