The Lyrics Prize 2022
This page used to link to one on another Website that has been deleted. So that this great work isn’t lost, I’m posting them all here (with permission of the contest creator Haiku Quan).
UPDATE NOVEMBER 14 2024: I’ve created a category The Lyrics Prize Songs. All the winning and honorable mention lyrics are there. Soon I’ll take all the unneeded stuff off this page.
