Had some excilting news this week - 

Dear JOHN,

We're absolutely delighted to let you know that your song has been selected for the Semi-Finals in the Talent Is Timeless 2026 Annual Songwriting Contest — a huge congratulations from all of us!

Song: Heartlands by JOHN JENKINS 

Genre: Folk 

With over 5,000+ entries this year, just 50 songs per genre were selected for the Semi-Finals — and yours is one of them. Your song stood out in a sea of talent for its originality, emotional depth, and creative strength — and you should feel incredibly proud of what you've created.

This is a very meaningful achievement, and we hope it serves as a powerful reminder that your music resonates.

More than anything, we hope this contest continues to be a positive, encouraging, and uplifting experience for you. That's what Talent Is Timeless is all about — celebrating the courage to create, the joy of songwriting, and the community that forms when we share our stories.

Thank you again for being part of it.

With appreciation and excitement,

Saskia Griffiths-Moore
Founder, Talent Is Timeless
