It sounds like they let you play more than one if you won 3rd with three pieces last year (we don't call them songs unless we sing them!) Given that list, go for contrast - the Tarentella, Clair de lune, and Love is in the Air sound as though they would provide that contrast. Good luck to you. If you want some interesting 20th century works, look at Muczynski's works - they are great! You didn’t say whose Tarentella it is, but those can be quite good and flashy.

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.3 in C major, op2 No.3 is also great, I love the Adagio, it's about 8 minutes long. Good luck, and let us know what you decide to play!!!!!!!!
