Songwriters
are invited to enter a song writing contest and help raise money for a good
cause—our drinking water—by participating in the 7th annual Santa FeRiverfest, being held April 9, 2017.
Original
song submissions about the Santa Fe River are due March 1, 2017. Our Santa Fe
River, Inc. (OSFR), a non-profit organization working to protect the aquifer,
springs and waters, is sponsoring the songwriting contest and music festival.
It will be held at Rum 138, located west of High Springs (corner of C.R. 138
and Rum Island Terrace), and hosted by WKTK host Storm Roberts.
Songwriters
should submit a MP3 about the Santa Re River no later than March 1, 2017 to info@ourSantaFeRiver.org. Judges
will look for originality, quality of lyrics, melody and performance. The
finalists will take the stage during the afternoon and will have an opportunity
to win the $300 first place prize. Each finalist will receive a professional
video of their performance, which also will be placed on YouTube.
For more information, contact Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson at 386-243-0322.
