The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, in its 23rd year, is providing a unique weekly opportunity for songwriters to win home studio gear and instruments in these trying times, and qualify for entry in the annual contest with over $300,000 in cash awards and prizes and the $20,000 Song of the Year.

Songwriters can enter each week by Sunday at 11:59PM PDT, with Power to the People weekly winners chosen randomly and announced on Mondays at 2PM EDT during the Lennon Bus Instagram Live event with celebrity guests, music experts, JLSC winners and entrants, and more.
