The results of the 7th Annual Great American Song Contest have been released, and among the winners was "Set Them Free" by Randall Effner, which received an "Honor" award for Lyric Writing. Created by songwriters, the Great American Song Contest focuses on helping songwriters and lyricists improve their skills while providing opportunities to have their work be seen and heard by music publishers, producers, and music media. Every entry receives a written evaluation from the contest judges. This year, the contest celebrated its seventh successful year as a respected international songwriting event. This year's contest had 1800 entries overall, with 500 entries in the Lyric Writing category. In this group, in addition to the first place winner, four songs earned "Outstanding Achievement" awards, eight won awards as "Finalists" and fifteen more songs, including "Set Them Free" won "Honor" awards. "Set Them Free" was originally written in the summer of 2005 for a large march and rally to "Quit the CCP" (Tuidang) held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. Since then, it's been performed live or recordings of it have been played at numerous Tuidang rallies around the world, including New York, Boston, Miami, Australia, London, and other places. It has met with an enthusiastic response from audiences wherever it was performed. In Randall's words: "A friend in Washington DC asked me to try to write a song for the rally, something specific to the movement to Quit the CCP. Actually, I had already been thinking about writing such a song for a long time, and this provided the added incentive I needed. I remembered the powerful impact the protest songs of the 60s had on the civil rights movement. It was that music, more than anything else, that turned rather apathetic students such as myself into activists. I thought, 'Maybe that idealism is still out there, lying dormant, waiting for the right spark to ignite it again.' "I'm very pleased and grateful to have received this award from this highly respected group of music-industry professionals. But it's also a test of sorts. I have to remember why I'm doing this. I am not seeking to be a star or sell CDs. I want to end the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and other innocent people in China. That is my goal, that is the song's goal, and I think this award and the publicity surrounding it will further that goal. I hope that now, even more people will learn "Set Them Free" and sing it at Tuidang events, or anywhere else where people need to hear the truth. "Someone asked me who the song is addressing, who it's talking to. Well, people can interpret that however they wish. To me it is a direct appeal to the governments and people of the free world. At the same time, it's a challenge, or more properly, a demand to the communist regime in China, to "let these people go." Finally, it is a heartfelt plea to all the righteous forces in heaven: 'Set Them Free!' It is all of these things at once. "When I wrote the song last summer, I was up against a tight deadline. There was no time to make an appointment at a studio, so I recorded it at a friend's house. That original recording had a lot of spirit, but it was kind of rough. Since then, we've worked on it some more, and got some great help from professional studios both here in Missouri where I live and also in Florida. So, this seems like a good time to re-introduce our new recording of 'Set Them Free' to the world." Randall and his daughter Sara have been working together to make music for several years. They are now in the process of building a website, www.justicewillprevail.com which will feature their songs and eventually music by others as well.
