    Introduction

    The Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival, now in its 24th year, is an annual event that is open to a cappella vocal groups of all styles. The competition is organized into eight regions and are based in major cities across the United States. Each regional produces a winning group who advances to the National Finals held in San Rafael, Marin County, California.

    Festival History

    The festival began in 1984 at the Mayflower Pub in Marin County as a small and informal tourney between friends. From these humble beginnings the Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival quickly flourished into its current form as a national competition with eight regional events, held in in Boston, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Denver, Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.

    The National Finals takes place each May at the Marin Veteran's Auditorium in San Rafael. To further the cause of vocal music, The Harmony Sweepstakes has established an annual A Cappella Summit, a two day jamboree and convention for enthusiasts of contemporary a cappella. The Summit consists of workshops, performances, demonstrations, and lecture/seminars, along with displays of goods and services for the a cappella community.

    The Harmony Sweepstakes embraces all styles of music performed a cappella, from the traditional forms of doo-wop and barbershop, gospel, and jazz to the exciting and innovative directions of contemporary vocal harmony. The essential musical instrument, the human voice, is being celebrated in many forms today -- at the top of the charts and around the world -- and The Harmony Sweepstakes is proud to be a part. The human voice and its endless possibilities have brought many diverse people together, and in a musical world increasingly dominated by technology, the appreciation of vocal music is a human connection that we can all share.

    The diversity we have today is a reality in part to the dream of Dr. King, but King’s dream is in no way complete so neither is the full realization of diversity.
    On today MLK Day please …

    REMEMBER KING,
    REMEMBER THE DREAM,
    AND HELP DIVERSITY GROW
