On Monday, Dec. 14, the longstanding ASCAP Songwriter Showcase took place virtually featuring eight finalists selected from over 75 student demo submissions.

Rachel Gore and Audrey Rose were named the showcase winners. The other finalists were Chandler Henry, Sarah Killian, Sophia Hudock, Taylor Foley, Leah Marlene and Janna Jamison.

The two live showcases, presented by Big Yellow Dog Music, were broadcast virtually for the first time since the series began nearly a decade ago. The evening was produced and hosted by students Emma Martin, Brooke Shuster and Haiden Hill, who serve on the Showcase Council under the guidance of Fallon Nell, Coordinator of Live Events & Showcase Series at Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business. The industry judging panel, including Beth Brinker of ASCAP, Nina Jenkins of Jody Williams Songs and Jacee Badeaux of Big Yellow Dog, provided feedback and encouragement.
