Song Of The Year (Proud supporter of VH1 Save the Music) Houston Texas

Song of the year advertises monthly song writer's contests for several different categories. Each monthly winner allegedly moves on to the final song of the year finals. They also offer song writer critique services. I submitted three completed songs to enter for the contest and two lyrics to be critiqued. I never heard anything back and there is no real way to contact them directly.

Months later I received an email stating that they enjoyed my music and placed my song on some website that I was unable to access. I also responded and asked about the status of my critique and didn't get a response. Later they sent reminders for upcoming deadlines for the contest.

I responded with a follow up to my question about the critique and once again did not get a response. Only to receive another email ad recruiting contestants. I replied with choice words.

This was a big disappointment as I thought I had done a considerable amount of research to make sure it was not a scam, but I wasn't looking in the right places. I also assumed since it had been around for years under the same name before I entered it would be ok.
