Title
Loyola Phoenix: Bicentennial folk song contest
Description
This article by Lynn Hansen describes a contest sponsored by Loyola for "original folk songs dealing with some aspect of the history of Illinois" to commemorate the bicentennial of America's independence from Britain. The contest deadline was December 31, 1975, with cash prizes for winning submissions to be announced in March, 1976. Contestants had to be Illinois residents, and students could enter, but not any Loyola employees or their families. A $2.00 handling fee was charged. Loyola would receive the rights to the three winning songs, but would make arrangements for sharing royalties.
The author describes folk songs: "Folks songs are a tradition that has been with us for many years. They are mediums of self-expression that represent cultural, social or religious heritage of a people who do not belong to any particular school, group, or sect."
