Calling all Filkers!  The Dragon Con Filk Track is compiling a songbook for our track. We’d love to share your songs with others at our Open Filks!  Pro of Fan, it doesn’t matter. We want to sing! To get some idea of what we’re looking for, download the last three years songbooks here.

Guidelines:

  1. There will be no secured portal for the songbook. All songs must be acceptable for a PG-13 audience.
  2. Themes should be related to Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Gaming, or Fandoms.
  3. Both parodies and original music are encouraged.
  4. If your song is a parody, please provide attribution:

   Suggestion: If your song is based on a book, film, movie, game, TV show, convention, fandom, please consider including that in your attribution.
5. If your song is an original composition, please include a lead sheet with chords appropriately spaced. Original songs without lead sheets will not be included. By submitting, you agree that the work is your own. Please do not submit others’ works.
