Information from the contest:

Songs are scored between 1 and 10 but most songs in the contest will not receive a score higher than 6.

Semi finalists and finalists will receive a very high score of 7, 8 or 9. The score of 10 is reserved for the winning song in each category.

A score of 1 or 2 indicates that the song was considered to be poorly written in comparison to other songs in the contest. It indicates that in the judges opinion the song needs either almost complete re writing or, especially in the case of a score of 1, abandoning.

A score of 3 indicates that this is an acceptable composition and that it follows the accepted standards of song form, presentation, melody, metre etc. Although the song would almost certainly benefit from re working and re writing it shows that the writer has potential and some songwriting ability and talent.

A score of 4, 5 and 6 indicates that the writer has clearly demonstrated real song writing ability and understanding and songs with these scores will receive a Commended Entry Certificate. A score of 6 can be regarded as a borderline semi finalist score and indicates that the song nearly made it into the semi finals.

Songs with a score of 7 or 8 are awarded a semi finalist position and certificate and are considered by the judges to be among the top songs in the contest. A score of 8 indicates that the song was a borderline finalist and almost made it into the finals.

Songs with a score of 9 are finalists and these very high scoring songs are considered for the winning positions in their respective categories. The winning song in each category is given a score of 10.
