Lorde will soon be passing judgment on the world's songwriters. But in a good way.
She has been named as one the superstar judges for this year's International Songwriting Competition (ISC), now in its 15th year.
Lorde is in certainly in good company. The judging panel consists of about 40
established, celebrated and hugely respected musicians, including legends like Tom Waits, Chris Cornell, India Arie and Ziggy Marley, as well as a similar number of top-level industry figures, including the President of Warner Bros. Records, the CEO of Atlantic Records and the President of Roadrunner Records.
What's cool about this competition is that it's open to anyone from anywhere in the world.
Established artists can - and do - enter, as can unsigned and unknown musicians hoping for that big break.
