We have had many great artists and writers send us their videos and each week the general public has voted for their favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to all who participated in the <strong>Social Distancing Songwriting Challenge<\/strong>. In the end it came down to a one vote margin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal with this program was to highlight artists within our community during this challenging time, create an event that encouraged&nbsp;people to share their work and recognize&nbsp;that the arts cover a wide range of&nbsp;skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project involved&nbsp;talented musicians&nbsp;who participated but also included filmmakers, writers, and publishers within our community.&nbsp; All who contribute to making the <strong>Lafayette-Oxford-University<\/strong> community vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to all those who listened to the songs, voted, and hopefully shared the talents of the performers.&nbsp; We thank our partners <strong>The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council<\/strong> and&nbsp;<strong>Antonio Tarrell Films<\/strong> and the generous support from the <strong>Mississippi Arts Commission, Cathead Vodka<\/strong>, and <strong>Mississippi&nbsp;Presenters Network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the winner!\u00a0 The winner by one\u00a0vote of the Social Distancing Song Writing Challenge is <strong>Ryan Miller <\/strong>with his song &#8220;Kicking Cans&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, Ryan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch Week Four Here:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/418095862\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
