THE ANNUAL VALENTINE SONGWRITING COMPETITION (VSC) will feature performances of top ten entries and previous winners for its 25th anniversary this Feb. 12 at the Luce Auditorium.

Herman Glenn Magdura, head of VSC, said that some of the previous winners of VSC will be invited to perform on the anniversary.

Magdura clarified that the proposed concert for all the previous winners will not push through due to the missing recordings and data of winners.

VSC is an activity that recognizes the musical talents from other colleges in the university.

The competition is organized by the Silliman University Cultural Affairs Committee and COPVA to celebrate Valentine’s Day through different genre of songs.

On this year’s finalists, Magdura said: “The batch knows what they want to do with their songs. They’re eager to win.”

Moreover, song arrangers from COPVA will supervise the composers.

Winners will receive certificates, trophies, and cash prizes.
