  • If there are cowriters for the songs entered, only one set of prizes will be sent and received by the primary songwriter winning the contest.
  • Other than the prizes listed on the website for CCMNI Songwriting Contest 2012, you agree not hold CCMNI or any other parties involved responsible for any liability in any way.
  • The prizes may vary based on availability.
  • All federal, state, and local laws apply. Void where prohibited by law.
