The Ark at UMMA invites student songwriters from the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, Washtenaw Community College, and Concordia University to submit their original music demos in order to compete for a live performance at UMMA and a chance to perform at The Ark. This student songwriter series is designed to create opportunities for students in the community to have their music heard, learn about promoting their music, and experience important aspects of the music business firsthand.

This event is the second of three performance showcases, which feature the best of the student songwriters selected by The Ark staff from the contest submissions. The final performance on Friday, April 13 will feature all performers from the January, February, and March showcases and will culminate in the announcement of the winner of the series. The winning singer-songwriter will booked for an opening performance at The Ark.
