The BMI Foundation has announced the opening of the 8th Annual John Lennon Scholarship competition for young songwriters. Established by Yoko Ono in 1997, the scholarships are made possible through generous donations from Ono with matching funds from Gibson Musical Instruments. One $10,000 scholarship (first prize) and two $5,000 scholarships (2nd and 3rd prize) will be awarded in 2005.
