On behalf of the Society of Composers & Lyricists, it is my great pleasure to announce the nominees for our 6th Annual SCL Awards. Not only do I want to thank everyone who entered, but also the vast number of you who took the time to review the entries and cast your votes.

The Final Voting Round opens on January 27, 2025 and closes one week later on February 3, 2025.

The Awards ceremony will be held on February 12, 2025, at the Skirball Cultural Center, and member invitations will be sent soon.

Good luck to all the nominees.
