The Winners of the Midwest Song Contest!

The Madison Songwriter's Group would like to thank all the participants of the 2007 Midwest Song Contest and offer congratulations to all of our winners! We are encouraged and astounded at the high calibre of songwritng displayed by this year's submissions! Further we heartily thank all of our judges for the time, talent and expertise; although they are highly qualified, picking the top five in each genre could not have been an entirely easy task!
