PFO hosts the second annual songwriting competition for teens and this year adds a brand new visual arts competition to the mix.
Songwriting Competition (check out the commercial): Back by popular demand, Playing for Others will host a Songwriting Competition for local teens, ages 14-18. Entries will be accepted from January 1st to February 14th. Following the deadline, 10 finalists will be selected to perform live at the Music Experience Concert, on March 13th at the McGlohan Theatre. At the concert, a panelist of local adults working in the Charlotte music scene will award a prize of $250 to the winning artist(s) as well as the opportunity to record their song professionally.
For our PFO teens in the Music Experience, they will perform the brand new, original PFO theme song for the year.
