NSAI has announced the winning songs for the 10th Annual NSAI Song Contest Presented by CMT. Industry judges selected “I Am Wordless,” written by Tonya Poe of Pittsburg, KS, David Garcia of Tampa, FL and Wayne Smotherman of Nashville, as the Grand Prize Winner. Poe also co-wrote “Too Close To Sunday Mornings,” submitted by Gerry Grothues of Belleville, WI, which earned the CMT Listener’s Choice Award after receiving the most online votes. This marks the first time a writer has garnered top honors in both categories in the same year.
Earning the top spot from more than 2,000 submissions, Poe and her co-writers performed their winning song during Tin Pan South 2010 at Douglas Corner Café prior to Rhett Akins, Scooter Carusoe, Brandon Heath & Lee Thomas Miller.
The Grand Prize package also includes a mentoring session with The Valory Music Co. recording artist and Grammy nominee, Jewel; a single-song publishing contract with a major publisher; a three-day trip to Nashville; tickets to the 2011 CMT Music Awards; a Gibson guitar and much more.
