RULES:
1. Entries must be received between June 1 and June 30, 2007, in the requested forms (MP3 or lyrics/music for original songs, lyrics for filks, see below for submission details).
2. Entries must be e-mailed to cabridges@gmail.com.
3. You may enter as often as you like, but only one marriage license pack will be sent out per household.
4. You must be 18 or older.
5. Contest is open to US and Canadian entries. Folk from other countries are welcome to enter, but I need an address on this continent to ship to, postage being what it is.
6. All entries will be posted online. After the contest ends on June 30, 2007, a poll will be set up for the public to vote for their favorite song. Winners will be announced on July 15th, 2007.
7. All prizes will be awarded. If I do not hear from the winners by July 31, 2007, the appropriate runner-up will receive the prize and another runner-up will be chosen.
SUBMISSIONS:
All entries must be submitted to cabridges@gmail.com.
If you are submitting a recording it must be an unencrypted MP3. Lyrics and music should be in PDF form, and lyrics by themselves can be a text/doc file or in the body of the e-mail. Please include your name, address, title of the song, your preferred pseudonym or band name (if any), and the original song title (if it’s a filk). Feel free to tell me about the song if you like; why you wrote it, what it means, etc. If e-mail is a problem — like if you’ve written a three hour opera and don’t want to break gmail — contact me and I’ll provide an address where you can mail a CD.
By submitting an entry you grant me the right to post and/or broadcast your song publicly for a period of three (3) months and use selected portions to promote the contest; all other rights remain with you.
Ladies? Gentlemen? Let’s hear it!
As I receive songs I’ll be posting them at the Sing a Song of Saffron MySpace page for your edification. Go friend the page now and get notices when new songs are available! Or just do it because it’ll make your top friends list look cool.
Many thanks to the Sing a Song of Saffron sponsors and good sports:

If you have a YoSaffBridge-related item to add to the prize stash, let me know! I’m hoping to keep building it up all month!
