I mean, it's almost like the perfect scam for any of these contests which are not legitimate. Think about it, they're getting people to send their songs AND MONEY and they really don't have to lift a finger. Then they listen to a small percentage of the songs until they find a few winners, and the rest are never heard. It's almost a perfect scam if it is actually done that way.

In that light it would be good to hear from other members which contests are reputable and worth the money to try.

You make a good point. Unless the contest were sponsored by some reputable source, I'd be very suspicious.
