About the Contest
We are seeking high school students throughout Northeast Ohio to take part in the Jam! Don't Slam! Songwriting Contest, which challenges students to write a song that shares the seat belt message with their peers.
What’s in it for students?
The finalists will be invited to screen or perform their entries during the "What's Holding You Back?" luncheon at the House of Blues Cleveland on Thursday, May 17, where winners will be announced. Students have a chance to win great prizes. Grand prize winner will receive a studio session at Lava Room Recording studios and a $50 Kohl's gift card. First place winner receives a $200 gift certificate to Prospect Music in downtown Cleveland and $25 Kohl's gift card. Second place winner receives two House of Blues concert tickets and a $10 Kohl's gift card.
The Jam! Don't Slam! Songwriting Contest will be easy and fun for schools to promote and has great payoffs for the winners. We’d like to recognize and thank our program sponsors: |
