Personally, I think it's the same as buying a lottery ticket and there really are better ways to develop an audience. But having said that, I thought I'd go ahead and summarize some of the ones floating around at this time anyway:
Deadline: Ongoing
Mountain Stage NewSong Contest
Sponsored by Folk Alliance. Seems a worthwhile cause.
Deadline: 10/10/08
Great American Song Contest
They promise written evaluations and no competing against professionals.
Deadline: 11/15/08
21st Annual International Folk Alliance Conference
In Memphis, TN and via SonicBids.
Deadline: 11/15/08
SongDoor International Songwriting Contest
Claims to judge only the song not the performance or production.
Deadline: 12/15/08
Session II - John Lennon Songwriting Contest
They sure have a nicely painted bus.
Deadline: ?
International Acoustic Music Awards
Factors in performance and production. Somewhat folk oriented.
Deadline: ?
The Nashville International Song and Lyric Competition
This seems dubious.
Deadline: Annual
USA Songwriting Competition
Lots o' Sponsors.
