Each songwriter will perform one original song and the audience will give positive feedback with the idea being to help the songwriter improve his/her songwriting style. The audience will also rate each songwriter on a scale based on three factors: lyrics, melody, and overall performance. The top three songwriters will perform a second original song and the judging process will happen again. The winner from this showcase will move on to the finals at the Power of Music Festival in April, where they will compete for a grand prize.
