Song Submission & Confirmation Thread
--------------
Welcome to the 7th edition of United States Of Song! This is an annual contest in which songs from each of the 50 U.S. states and up to 6 territories compete for a grand prize. This year is going to be amazing, I can feel it!
If you are new to United States of Song, welcome! Last year's winning song was "Supernova (tigers blud)" by Kat Cunning, who represented Oregon. They won convincingly enough with 114 points - 13 points ahead of 2nd place Missouri. You can listen to the winning song here.
The early stages of the contest always begin in January. Our full calendar is posted here and I'll try to keep it up to date.
2022 SONG SUBMISSIONS
Please submit songs to be considered for the contest.

After song submissions close, we will start State Song Selections!
SONG SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 20, 2022
This thread also marks the opening of the
CONFIRMATION PERIOD.
You can confirm for one state or territory in a reply below, or in a PM to the contest manager.
Do not post your songs in the thread. I will delete them. They must be first approved by Committee.
You will not be able to vote for the song or state you confirm with, so choose wisely!

Purpose of Contest
We want to show that there's more to American pop music than what's produced in Hollywood or New York City. This contest showcases music from every corner of the USA. You will find unique musical flavors and hidden gems in #USoS -- that's our guarantee.
Why should I participate?
If you have to ask, then you'll never find out the answer...
Even if you don't have a song to submit, anyone can vote.
This is an annual contest only, so there is no burn-out.
We record an epic final results show. Watch last year's contest by clicking this link.
We also get attention from the artists in the contest - so that's cool, right?

Maryland 2019 message of gratitude
But the USA/Americans/America IS AWFUL, screw your contest! I hope ASC fails, too!
Music is supposed to bring people together. Don't you want us to bring ourselves together?
I submitted a song last year, and it didn't get chosen! Why bother?
If you confirm with a state, you have the option to review the songs that were submitted and choose one from the songs that were found, or choose a song on your own. You can also run your own state song selection, as long as you get approval from the USoS Committee. Either way, you have the ability to participate with at least one song.
The rules are much more visible now, so everyone should know what songs are "allowed". Hopefully your amazing entry will make it to the Final Round!
------
Oregon's entry will automatically qualify to the Final Round (which is why they will have a state song selection this year). The remaining states and territories will battle it out in two semifinals for the Final Round of 27 songs (26 qualifiers + Oregon).

This contest has its own website! Check us out at www.unitedstatesofsong.com
So... let's get this party started!
