You need to write three completely original songs and present them in a way that shows imaginative, creative thinking. Each song needs both lyrics and music that work together purposefully, and you'll need to record them and provide written materials (lyrics and chords) so someone else could perform them. The songs can be solo or group work, but your individual creative contribution must be clear.
