Songs

Write your own songs, tinker with lyrics, create compositions! SONGS - the songwriting competition in cooperation with the Stiftung Bildung und Soziales der Sparda Bank Baden-Württemberg gives young songwriters between the ages of eleven and 21 the chance to take to the big stage with their song every year. SONGS celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025.

Participants can apply solo or as a band - in cooperation with their teachers and educational specialists - with their strongest song. The best ideas will be rewarded with attractive prizes!

There are prizes in total worth of 10,000 € for the musical equipment of schools, music schools and youth centres. In addition, the winners will receive professional coaching at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg.

The Stiftung Bildung und Soziales of the Sparda-Bank Baden-Württemberg is the funding partner for SONGS. Social and cultural commitment has always been an integral part of the corporate philosophy of the regionally rooted Sparda-Bank. The Sparda-Bank sees itself as a promotional partner that constantly sets new impulses, draws attention, makes opportunities possible and opens doors - as it does with the SONGS songwriting competition.
