Exciting news! The OAC and vokal.total are delighted to announce their collaboration for the upcoming competition season 🏆🎤🫂

The Open A Ca****la Competition is held annually in the United Kingdom. The competition provides a unique opportunity for singing groups of all sizes and styles to compete, creating a varied, high-calibre programme. The OAC weekend also involves workshops, masterclasses and Q&A sessions with its esteemed panel. Previous winners include Axiom (UK), Inner Voices (Wales) and Northern Lights (Durham University, UK), while this year’s judging panel featured Anders Edenroth (The Real Group), James Rose (Accent, A Ca****la Academy) and Gemma Witham (ICCA). The OAC is also one of the few a ca****la competitions to be streamed worldwide.

Every year, international a ca****la ensembles, choirs and beatbox artists meet at vokal.total International A Ca****la Competition in Graz, Austria, competing in six different categories to win one of the highly desired Ward Swingle Awards. Through workshops, coachings, side events and parties, these five days of vocal power are filled with a feeling of connection, community and appreciation for vocal music. The honorable jury of the past years consisted of Tine Fris-Ronsfeld (DEN), Kim Nazarian (USA), Matthias Becker (GER) and Andrea Figallo (ITA).

The OAC will invite the winner of vokal.total.pure 2026 to compete in the final of the OAC in 2027. In exchange, the winner of the OAC 2027 will be invited to compete in the appropriate category at vokal.total 2027.
