Sweet Adelines International Competitions
Every fall, the best Sweet Adelines choruses and quartets from around the world converge at the SAI Annual Convention. The winners of each region's spring competition are invited to compete at the International Convention. In addition to the regional winners, the top 5 second-place choruses and quartets throughout the world, are invited to compete as well.
The SAI chorus competitions started in 1973 and the quartet competitions have been going on since 1947 when the first national convention and quartet competition was held by Sweet Adelines. In 1993, the Sweet Adelines International and Coronet Club (organization of champion quartets) boards of directors agreed that the international quartet and chorus champions are more aptly designated by the calendar year during which they primarily hold their titles rather than the year in which they win their titles. Thus, there are no "1993 International Champions." The quartet and chorus that won in 1993 were designated "1994 International Champions," and all subsequent international champions have titles following the new system.
