The Lovin' Cup will host a Write-Off Songwriting Competition featuring Jeff Acker, Deanna Spiotta, Katie Preston, Evan J. Miller, Alexandra Hayes, and Dylaina Young.

Competitors will perform their original songs live before a panel of esteemed contemporaries who, along with the audience, will determine the outcome of the night. The catch? The songwriters don't find out their subject matter until the month leading up to the show, and have only from then until show time to write it.
