About the Commonwealth Song Contest
The Commonwealth Song Contest is open to all residents and nationals of the 54 Commonwealth Nations. The first Commonwealth Song Contest was held in 2018. It was a very successful event and received thousands of song entries. Finalists and Winners were chosen using a public voting system where entrants and registered songwriters from every country were able to vote for their favourite songs,and the results and winners from that event are here: 2018 Results. The Commonwealth Song Contest, like The Commonwealth Games, is held every four years.
All songwriters and artists who are residents or nationals of the 54 Commonwealth of Nations countries are eligible to take part and represent their country. The event showcases the music, talent and culture of the participating nations, and aims to promote understanding of the cultural differences, the geography and the diversity of the nations, their music and their cultures. For full details of each country with links to detailed country profiles visit the Commonwealth Nations official website.
Everyone in the Commonwealth is welcome to enter the contest - both beginners and professionals. There is no age limit. Songwriters can record and perform their song themselves and enter their own demos, or other people can sing and record their song for them. Bands and singers can perform their own original compositions or perform songs written by friends or music partners. Schools and colleges are welcome and are encouraged to enter songs and may find support from their country´s local Commonwealth Foundation officers. Music producers, TV and Radio producers, music industry professionals and sponsors are welcome to contact us to discuss partnerships.
