Kim Beggs Wins International Songwriting Award

ISC

15,500 Entries.
60 Winners.
20 Categories.
One Yukoner.

Priceless.


MusicYukon is thrilled to congratulate our own Kim Beggs for her stellar achievement in the 2008 International Songwriting Competition. Not only a finalist, her song "Lips Stained Red With Wine" has taken 3rd Place in the Americana category.

While ISC doesn't release the 'hard numbers' in each category, even a just-passing math student could tell you that coming third out of an estimated 775 category applicants (15,500 applicants divided by 20 categories) is a singular achievement.

With 6.77 billion souls in the world, and where the Yukon represents just .00000443% of its population, placing as a finalist is a long shot. Winning an award is just icing on the cake.

Congratulations, Kim -- not just for the very very fine songwriting, but the hours and days and months of all the hard slogging you do.  This is a MasterCard Moment.
