Distant Memory wins Runner Up in Songwriting Contest

I had submitted two poems as part of their songwriting contest (none of them published on this blog) for about 49 bucks and one of them got the runner up nomination. Do you think the 49 bucks was well spent?

The Song of the Year songwriting contest has awarded Marlowe Sr the Runner Up placement in the song contest. Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only the top songwriters receive a Runner Up placement in the songwriting competition.

UPDATE: I again submitted one song to them and again was close to winning but did not win. Does anything sound fishy here? Is songoftheyear.com the real deal? Or is it just a way to lure songwriters with false hope and make them keep paying money to the website owners to get an entry in the contest? No idea. Here is another 'award' I got lol:

The Song of the Year songwriting contest has awarded Marlowe Sr the Semi-Finalist placement in the song contest. Song of the Year receives entries from all over the world and only the top songwriters receive a Semi-Finalist placement in the songwriting competition.
