Due to overwhelming demand, the 2013 Unsigned Only Music Competition has extended its deadline date until April 16, 2013.

The International Songwriting Competition (ISC), one of the world's largest songwriting competitions, has launched Unsigned Only, a new, unique international music competition. Designed for solo artists, bands, and singers who are not signed to a major record label, Unsigned Only's goal is to find an outstanding, talented performing artist: a band, singer, or solo artist...a newcomer or veteran...raw or polished - the "gem" that needs to be discovered. Unsigned Only is looking for the total package. Judging criteria includes vocals, performance, songwriting, and originality.

Australia’s Kasey Chambers has won the Grand Prize in International Songwriting Competition.
