Competing Quartet Registration

Regional registration is the process by which we get all the miscellaneous information we need about each competing chapter. ONLY THE QUARTET CONTACT SHOULD FILL OUT THIS FORM; one per quartet!
Step 1 of 4: Have you registered with International?
WHY: All competing quartets must first complete an Entry Form to compete with Sweet Adelines International. Competition entry information was emailed to Quartet Contacts on January 28, 2022.
WHO DOES THIS: President/Team Leader or Treasurer/Finance Manager.
WHEN: Chorus entry forms must be submitted to International by 3/15/2022 to be included in the initial draw for order of appearance. After that date, the late fee is $200.00, with the final/late deadline to enter being 3/30/2022.
WHERE: If your chorus hasn't already done so, enter for contest on the Sweet Adeline website before Starting Step 2.
And a general tip! Be sure to read everything offered by SAI on their website, small print included! Forms change from year to year, with more duties being handled online and/or electronically. Don't miss out because you haven't read the details.

Step 2 of 4: Are your songs ready?
SONG ASSESSMENT TOOL: Prior to performance, all competitors are required to receive an “Admissible” rating through the Song Assessment Tool for all songs they intend to perform. Any song performed in contest that is found to have NOT received an “Admissible” rating will result in the performance being immediately stopped and the performer being disqualified.
COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE: Sweet Adelines International requires that only copyright-cleared music be sung at regional competitions. If you have a medley of songs, you must include the information about each song, no matter how short the excerpt. Do not presume any song is in the public domain or that your parody is okay; check to be certain. Please read this Copyright Matters document from SAI. In our high-tech, online world it is best to ask permission before using altered material or posting anything. If you have additional copyright questions, contact music@sweetadelines.com.
