Songwriting Competition
SSA Top 10 Songwriting Contest Now Open
The Songwriting Society Of Australia (SSA) is holding its Top 10 Songwriting Contest at the moment. From what I can see there are no genre categories to speak of so all songs submitted regardless of genre will be judged on its merits in one group.
The prize breakdown is as follows (all money in Australian Dollars):
- 1st Prize – $1500
- 2nd Prize – $1000
- 3rd Prize – $500
- 4th Prize – CMC Productions Workshop (Pat Pattison & Steve Seskin)
Entry fees (per song submitted) for the contest are:
- SSA Members – $20
- Associate Members – $30
- Non Members – $60
Further details regarding the SSA Top 10 Songwriting Contest can be found on the SSA MySpace Page.
Entries close on 31 July, 2009 but I’m not sure if the contest is open for Australian songwriters only so if you live outside of Australia and you’re interested in entering it would be best to check things out a bit more beforehand.
Good luck,
Until next time, happy writing,

FOOM Song Competition 2009 Is Now Open For Business
A few days ago SCALA (Songwriters, Composers & Lyricists Association) launched its 16th Annual FOOM (Festival Of Original Music) Song Competition for 2009. This competition has been running every year since 1993.
The sections on offer for this year are:
- Live
- Demo Open
- Demo Instrumental
- Studio Open
- Studio Instrumental
- Lyrics
As with previous years, winners of the Live and Demo sections will be able to record their winning song on the next SCALA CD, the Studio winners are automatically added (as their songs are of “broadcast quality” in the first place) and the winning lyricist gets a cash prize.
This year all winners will get FREE 12 Month (Silver) Membership with Song Central, an organization where songwriters can store, manage, develop and showcase their original songs/music to the music industry at large.
It sounds good to me 
Entries close on Friday July 4th, 2009 and is open to any songwriter of any standard anywhere in the world. For more details go to the SCALA website.
For the last few years I’ve been honoured to be one of the judges for this wonderful competition. I hope to continue helping out SCALA again this year.
Until next time, happy writing,
