The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has announced its 2008 winners. The grand prize goes to Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall of Brisbane, Australia for their song “Caught In The Crowd,” a pop song with a message about schoolyard bullying and peer pressure. The Grand Prize winners take home $25,000 and over $20,000 in prizes – the largest Grand Prize of any songwriting competition. With judges including Tom Waits, Rob Thomas, Ray Davies, Chaka Khan, McCoy Tyner, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Cure’s Robert Smith , the ISC Grand Prize recognizes excellence in the craft of songwriting.
