There is one Month left for Singers/Songwriters to submit their entries for the competition sponsored by the Southwestern Chapter of the ACLU of New Mexico. Due to growing interest and controversy over immigration and other border issues, we are looking for songs that deal with issues of Civil Liberties relating to Border Issues, Immigration, and/or the AZ law, SB 1070. Three finalist will be selected from the entrants to perform at the Chapter’s Annual Meeting, to be held on September 17, 2010. The winner will be selected at that time. There will also be speakers addressing these issues that evening.

This 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 4 hour recording session, provided by our co-sponsor, Barefoot Studio. Barefoot Studio provides a comfortable and creative atmosphere near Silver City, NM, for the musician to bring their dream to fruition with top-quality equipment and over 60 years combined experience in the realm of sound.
