We are running two new competitions - IABS Youth Category Cup and Open Mixed Chorus Competition. We are inviting youth quartets, small ensembles (fewer than 12) or choruses (more than 12). If you are a college quartet, music school quartet or young singers who want to try the barbershop experience, then this is for you! Age groups (on competition day): 12-16 years; 16-20 years; 21-25 years. IABS Rules will apply to this category in terms of choice of music, singing in the barbershop style. A reduced registration rate will apply. Youth Competitors, who don’t need to be members of IABS to enter, must sing two songs arranged in the barbershop style. We hope to see lots of interest in the NEW OPEN MIXED CHORUS COMPETITION. IABS Contest Rules apply to this category. So follow the Registration and competition entry links now!
