The contest, hosted by Sheri Sanders ("Rock The Audition"), featured ten songs competing for the title of Best Song and a $500 grand prize. Songwriter Madeline Myers, whose song "I Could Be a Hero" was performed by Ben Fankhauser, took home the top prize, and all finalists received a cash prize of $50.

Singers included Hannah Elless (Somewhere In Time, Godspell), Fankhauser (Newsies), Craig Waletzko (Guys & Dolls, Young Frankenstein) and Mary Kate Morrissey (Hair).

The winner was chosen by the audience and a panel of celebrity guest judges, including Natalie Weiss (Everyday Rapture), Ryan Silverman (Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera) and Ryan Scott Oliver (Jasper In Deadland).
