Participation Award

We're writing to let you know that your song Addiction by JimmyLee Smith did not progress to the longlist this time. With 3,750 entries and just 50 songs progressing to round 3 in each genre, the competition was incredibly strong — and many excellent songs, including yours, didn't make it through.

That's why we're recognising you as a Timeless Artist — while your song may not have advanced to the longlist, your participation embodies the spirit of the Talent Is Timeless community.

We hope this has been a positive and encouraging experience overall, and that the feedback you received was helpful. Please keep cheering on those who did move forward — your support means a lot in this creative community.

We hope you consider entering again next year, and until then, keep writing and sharing your songs — the world needs more of it.

With appreciation,
