As a not-for-profit, our Corporate Partners help sustain NSAI's programs year-round. Companies looking to support the association while marketing to our members and broader audience will find our corporate partnerships to be a great fit!
Renewing on an annual basis and ranging in contributions from $5,000 to $50,000, corporate partners receive a variety of perks that include digital and onsite marketing, newsletter inclusions, social media promotion, and coveted tickets to some of NSAI’s most popular events - like Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival and Nashville Songwriter Awards. Corporate Partnerships are accepted year-round.
The annual Nashville Songwriter Awards honor writers who have made significant achievements and great impact in the music industry. The coveted "10 Songs I Wish I'd Written" Awards are the only Nashville songwriter-voted awards in our industry.
Held in late September at the iconic Ryman Auditorium, this event lends itself to more of a concert experience than an awards show. You can expect to see dozens of performances by some of the industry’s top talent all on one stage!
Sponsorships are available in a variety of tiers beginning at $6,000. Each level includes VIP tickets to the show with premium seating and entrance into the exclusive VIP after-party. Event sponsors also receive ads, digital marketing promotions both online and onsite at Ryman Auditorium, and other elements based on sponsorship level. Partners are accepted through the Summer months each year.
The annual NSAI Song Contest offers songwriters the opportunity for their work to be heard and evaluated by music industry professionals with the opportunity to win thousands of dollars, meet with a hit songwriter and industry professionals, sign their very own one-year publishing contract, and so much more!
Thousands of entries are received each year by songwriters looking to receive feedback on their songs and the opportunity to level up their career with a variety of opportunities made possible by our partners.
Song Contest offers partners the opportunity for their products or services to be marketed directly to writers around the country by contributing to the prize packages for our grand prize winners and runners-up. (Almost) Anything goes when considering prize inclusions - from instruments and gear to tickets, trips, or gift cards, we love to get creative with the prizes for our entrants and winners. Sponsorships are accepted for Song Contest through early Summer each year. | Visit nsaisongcontest.com.
The World's Largest #1 Party is held annually and is designed to celebrate the Nashville-based songwriter (multi-genre) who has received a #1 single(s) in the past year as compiled through the Billboard and Mediabase charts.
NSAI gathers the music community each Spring to recognize the writers and their songs with an informal ceremony and celebration. This invitation-only event is attended by award-winning songwriters, their publishing companies, representatives, families, and other music business professionals.
Sponsorship of this event offers partners the opportunity to mingle with professional songwriters and connect with a variety of prominent industry members in a laid back setting. A limited amount of partnerships are available for this event and are accepted through February annually.
