Ten talented songwriters will win a coverted spot at the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge 2023 Showcase Final taking place at LEAF on Bold Street on Saturday 27th January 2024.

During the September entry period songwriters were invited to submit brand new songs inspired by works of art on public display across the Liverpool City Region.

Judges Kaya Herstad Carney, Robert Vincent, Jon Lawton, Luke Moore and Alison Benson listened to all of the entries and scored each one on lyrics, melody, composition, and originality.

After the marks were totalled the writers of the top ten placed songs were awarded places at the Showcase Final where they’ll perform their song with the work of art that inspired it projected on the screen for everyone to see. At the end of the evening the Judges’ Award Winner will be announced, and the Audience Favourite will be revealed.

Anthony Harrison and Helen Attisha – Chains Around My Heart

Derek & Jenny King – Fantine

Ed Jones – This Boy
