December 16, 2014 (Springdale, Ark.) - The 12th Annual CCM Network International Songwriting Contest is in its final month, which means songwriters are urged to get their entries in now to qualify for Songwriter of the Year prizes and opportunities, including an international radio single release, writing for an INOV8 Label artist and media exposure.

"Each year, we are excited to discover talented songwriters from all over the U.S. through the Songwriting Contest," says Jeff McLaughlin, founder and president of CCM Network International. "Already for the 12th annual competition, we have received some great songs and I look forward to what may come in in the next couple of weeks. I encourage all songwriters out there to send in their songs!"

The competition selects first, second and third place winners each quarter, with the Grand Prize songwriter selected from the four quarterly first place winners.

Lenny Juliano was named Songwriter of the Year for the 11th Annual Songwriting Contest.

Juliano's single, "Nothing Else," captured the 11th annual competition's top prize. The single, featuring singer Jenn Bostic along with Juliano's distinguished musical arrangements and melodic lyrics, was released for purchase at iTunes and will be released to radio in January, 2015 by A-Sides Radio Promotion.
