Non members: $40 for first song and $10 for each additional song. This
includes one year membership fee ($30). You may enter a song in more
than one category, but you need to submit a separate CD for each song.
You may write one check for the total amount. Please make check payable

Suggestions:
Type your lyrics on one page, put your name &
address on the lyric sheet. Attach lyrics and entry form to the CD with
a rubber band. Do this for each entry. For "Lyrics Only", send
lyric sheet and entry blank only. Send your package by regular mail, no
special delivery etc., this slows things down, since someone has to wait
in line at the post office to retrieve your package. Please don’t use
staples or excess tape. Make your package easy to open. Make checks
payable to "SOWI", and send to: PO Box 1027, Neenah, WI
54957-1027, before June
15,
2011.
