How To - Check Song Consent & Submission Form Results

Each Chapter has a specific Song Submission link that they provide Chapter members with, in advance of the monthly meetings. If you do not know or have your specific Song Submission Link for your Chapter, please email amanda@nashvillesongwriters.com so she can send you the correct link.

Members will click the Song Submission link, enter their info, sign consent and upload their mp3 and lyrics.

We require each Chapter to use their specific link anytime a song is played during a meeting for privacy and legal reasons.
