SCALA’s FOOM Song Competition 2008 Is Now On!
I just wanted to let you all know that the songwriting organisation I belong to, SCALA (Songwriters, Composers & Lyricists Association) is holding its annual FOOM Song Competition again for 2008 and the entries close on Monday June 30th.
2008 is the 15th year that FOOM (Festival Of Original Music) has been in existance. I’ve personally been involved with FOOM either as an entrant or a judge since 1998.
For me, FOOM is a lot of fun.
In 1998 I first entered the live section of FOOM and got a highly commended award. In 1999 I was the winner of the same section.
Ever since then I’ve been a FOOM songwriting judge.
What I love about judging is the ability to give constructive feedback to all participants that come your way. I think the best thing about FOOM or any good songwriting contest is the feedback mechanism that’s built into it.
Even if you don’t win, you get something that will help you improve your songwriting so, in fact everybody wins.
Here is a snippet of the recent press release for FOOM 2008.

SCALA’S FOOM SONG COMPETITION 2008
Entries are now being sought for SCALA’s 15th Festival Of Original Music (FOOM) Songwriting Competition, so get yourself sorted and enter.
Founded in 1987, SCALA (Songwriters, Composers & Lyricists Association) is a South Australian based non-profit voluntary organisation which commenced the annual FOOM song competition in 1994.
Winners in the Live, Demo and Master sections appear on a commercially available CD (distributed to radio stations and music industry personnel) while winners in the Lyrics section receive a cash prize.
The competition and CD release has assisted the careers of a number of local songwriters including Sam Lohs, Susie Keynes and Miranda Bradley from Fruit, Heather Frahn, Kylie Cowling, Corey Stewart and many others.
