From International:

 

As of Monday, January 6, 2025, Sweet Adelines' online regional entry form technical issues are still being addressed. If a competitor attempts to register online, the database will give them a $0 price, which is an error. Unfortunately, this means that regional choruses and quartets cannot register for regional contest through their chapter/quartet portals for the time being. 

 

****In the meantime, in order to ensure that all choruses and quartets are registered for their respective contests, contest entry forms will need to be entered manually by Competition Department staff.

Please take the following steps to register:

1. Fill out the Regional Contest Entry Form PDF

1. 1. Chorus PDF

1. 1. Quartet PDF

2. Email, fax, or snail mail the PDF to the Competition Department

2. 1. Email (CC only): [email protected] 

2. 1. 1. If emailing, please do not include payment information. Please call Sweet Adelines Headquarters with credit card information: 1-800-992-7464

2. 2. Fax (CC only): 918-388-8083 ATTENTION: Competition Department

2. 2. 1. If faxing, please email [email protected] to let us know that a fax has been sent.

2. 3. Snail Mail:

2. 3. 1. 9110 South Toledo Ave, Tulsa, OK 74137 ATTENTION: Competition Department

          

Once entry forms have been received, Competition Department staff will enter the chorus/quartet for contest. Competitors will receive a confirmation email once their entry form has been processed.

 

 

 

I will give notice when this issue is resolved. If there are any questions, please let us know. We appreciate all of you for your hard work and patience during this time.

• As well as the late fee, your chorus/quartet will not be entered into the initial draw for order of appearance, drawn 55 days prior to competition, but rather in a secondary draw two weeks later (after the late entry deadline).

No entries will be accepted after the late entry (45 day) deadline - no exceptions!

Remember: Only chorus presidents/team coordinators, directors, or treasurers can register a chorus (or prospective chorus) for competition, and only the quartet contact can register a quartet.
