Choir of the Year 2008

If you are a choral ensemble and want to travel to England, consider entering the BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year 2008 competition. Contestants are invited to enter their ensemble into the competition now, as the deadline closes Nov. 18, 2007. The competition will start the following spring, but runs all year long (Choir of the Year 2006 didn't end until Dec. 10, 2006).

Similar to the American Idol format, judges give immediate feedback to both the choirs and the audience.

There are four categories:

  1. Open Choirs
  2. Children's Choirs
  3. Adult Choirs
  4. Youth Choirs

The only limit on entering is size and instrument: your group must be composed of 8-100 singers. However, all ages and styles of music are welcomed.

If you are interested in entering, please visit the BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year 2008's website. Even if you aren't a singing group, but just love music, be sure to mark your calendars for this event.
