Sometimes you just need a reason to create - some spark to get you off your couch and start recording. Song contests, album challenges, and, yes, song fights are great motivators. While some will throw you a specific title or topic to write about, others let you create whatever you want. The thing is, they all have deadlines. So get to it!
We did our best to start this category, but if you know something that isn't listed here that would be useful, please add it. And if you see something that's listed, but it's incomplete, please add to it!
