What songs won 1st place?  Did you go to the judges to find out why you scored 3rd place?

It may or may not be your song choice at all, but maybe your delivery/performance of the songs.

I will not propose any song for you.
[I am also in the process of writing MY OWN song for another radio competition in South Africa]
However I can suggest a few things to focus on:

1) Choose a song U enjoy.
2) If U don't know it very well, do your homework & know it like you know your handwriting.

[these should be enough confidence boosters for U 2 DELIVER an ASTOUNDING PERFORMANCE.

3) While rehearsing, ask some1 ( preferably an objective party with some music performance background) to watch U play the song.
---ask them for feedback..

  AREAS TO ASSESS:
  -i) Connection.
-----Did U feel/ connect with what your were playing/ singing?
-----We're U able to connect the audience with what U performed? [Don't play soul for an audience that likes country]
 ---[It's not a bad idea to try to know the judges beforehand & know what stlye they like. Especially if the judges will be the same in the following year. It's also good 2 review the rules 2 c what they are looking for.]
-----Did U make a personal connection with the audience?  [look up 2 them; smile etc..like Elton John & many others]
(this is important because you are not performing for yourself. U'r trying to make the audience like your music as well as U ;))

Your confidence, charisma, humility & connection should do the trick for you ;)

I can't really give you any honest suggestions because I have no idea what the competition is like.  You could try "I Need You Know" by Smokie Norful if you looking for something.
