The International Songwriting
Competition (ISC) is very pleased to announce its winners for the 2003
annual competition. Called "the songwriting competition to take note of" by the New York Times, ISC received over 11,000 entries from 60 countries this year.



ISC prizes include more than $100,000 (USD) in cash and merchandise and are shared by 68 winners in 13 categories.



Winning the overall Grand Prize is Moana Maniapoto of Auckland, New Zealand for her world music song "Moko." This is the first time any major songwriting competition based in the USA has awarded its top honors to any songwriter from outside the USA.



The winning song "Moko," is a
compelling fusion of smooth world music and an urban sound with earthy,
international beats. "Moko" is rich in lyrical content and reflects the
Maori spirit and culture.



Many songwriters from the United Kingdom and Ireland also placed extremely well in the competition, taking home honors in a variety of categories, including:


Patrick Freyne/Pol O'Conghaile (Dublin, Ireland), Honorable Mention,
AAA/Roots/Americana - "Mud"



Carole Nelson (Borris, Ireland), Runner-Up, Jazz - "I Just Like To Drink
Alone"



Julian Charlton (Dublin, Ireland), Semi-Finalist, AAA/Roots/Americana -
"Jimmy Cole In Nashville"



Indian (Sligo, Ireland), Semi-Finalist, Rock - "Cities"
