Budding songwriters, composers and lyricists have only until 30 June to submit entries in the 2008 Festival of Original Music Song Competition (FOOM) run by SCALA (Songwriters, Composers And Lyricists Association).

Founded in 1987, SCALA (Songwriters, Composers And Lyricists Association) is a South Australian-based non profit voluntary association which commenced the annual FOOM song competition in 1994.

Winners in Live, Demo and Master sections appear on a commercially available CD each year (distributed to radio stations and music industry personnel) whilst winners in the Lyrics only section receive a cash prize.

The competition and CD release has assisted the careers of a number of local songwriters including Sam Lohs and Susie Keynes from Fruit, Miranda Bradley from Fruit and Raw Honey, Heather Frahn , Kylie Cowling (Legless and Kaleidoscope) and many others. To date SCALA has issued 17 albums of original music with an 18th in production.
