At BudgetHomeTheater.net, we love movies, and we love music, too! We’re committed to helping young singer-songwriters achieve their dreams. Each fall, we award a $1000 scholarship to the winner of our Singer-Songwriter Music Video Scholarship.

Oh, and don’t forget to share your video on social media, and encourage your friends and family to comment and share! Use the tag #budgethometheaterscholarship.

That’s it!

Entries will be evaluated based on the following categories:

  • Originality
  • Musical technique
