Purpose

To help widen the interest in a cappella music and to advance the careers of participating groups by providing a large and enthusiastic audience for singers of all styles to perform, have fun and create new fans. See here our philosophy, goals and ways we can help groups.

Requirements

Groups may have no less than three nor more than twelve performing members. Groups of any style and ages are welcome. Larger groups are eligable as long as they only have twelve members performing on stage at any one time. For the complete rules click here.

How To Enter

All groups are requested to submit their info using our online entry form. We also ask that you email us a promotional photo of the group. Groups should also send us a link (if available) to one or two of their songs. If your group is accepted there is a $10 per person entry fee.

Please note you may only submit to one regional show at a time. List of regional directors.

Prizes

Regional winners win airfare plus 2 nights accommodation in the San Francisco Bay Area to compete in the National Finals. There is also discounted CD duplication from our sponsor Discmakers for the National Champs.

Over the years winning our events has grown an impressive track record of being beneficial for our champions in a variety of different ways. Along with exposure that winning the event brings, groups may also make use of our extensive a cappella networking and resources that we have developed over the decades in conjunction with Singers.com.

Reward

While fame and fortune is not promised by winning the National Finals most all of our winners have had postive results for their group by taking home the title. Read here what many of our champs have to say about winning the Sweeps.
