(DEADLINE AUGUST 20, 2010)
The Southwestern Chapter of the ACLU of New Mexico is sponsoring a singer/songwriter competition in connection with its annual meeting to be held Sept. 17. Due to growing controversy regarding immigration and other border issues, the ACLU is looking for songs that deal with issues of civil liberties relating to border issues, immigration and/or the Arizona law, SB 1070. The competition is open to all musicians in the border regions of West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona who write and perform in any musical genre. The prize will be a four-hour recording session provided by the co-sponsor, Barefoot Studio. All submissions must be original compositions of the artist/performer (maximum two entries per artist) made on an official entry form and submitted with a tape or CD recording of the entry along with a written copy of the lyrics.
