Lyrics & Lyricists Jr. Emerging Songwriter Showcase - 92NY Musical Theater

Call for Submissions: Lyrics & Lyricists Jr. Emerging Songwriter Showcase



The 92nd Street Y is thrilled to invite submissions for this year’s Lyrics & Lyricists Jr., a special opportunity for ten emerging composers and songwriters to have their work presented on the 92NY stage.



For more than 50 years, 92NY’s celebrated Lyrics & Lyricists series has honored the art of songwriting and brought audiences together with extraordinary artists to explore the Great American Songbook.



Presented through 92NY’s Theater for Young Audiences Department, this production of Lyrics & Lyricists Jr. is created with family audiences in mind and is partnered with our Discover Musical Theater Residencies, which bring musical theater education into the NYC public school system. This exciting initiative connects emerging songwriters not only to performance, but also to 92NY’s broader mission of arts education, access, and inspiring young audiences through new musical storytelling.



Selected winners will have their song featured in this year’s concert on May 16 and 17, will be highlighted with a bio on the 92NY website, and will receive professional footage of their number performed on our stage. It is a meaningful opportunity for emerging writers to share their work as part of a long-standing 92NY tradition while also contributing to programming that serves young people and families.



Submissions will be open until Monday April 6



To submit, composers and songwriters should email Mdoyle@92ny.org with:

• a short bio

• a demo of the song they are submitting in a Google Drive or sharable link (please do not email large files)



Please note:

• All songs must be family-friendly

• Songs may be either from a new, unpublished musical or a stand-alone song





We look forward to hearing new voices and celebrating the next generation of musical storytellers.
