VoiceJam A Capella Festival

Whether you compete, learn, watch or listen, there’s something for everyone at the 8th annual VoiceJam A Cappella Festival. The weekend includes a headliner concert by Take 6, a riveting competition with groups from all over the U.S., workshops, singing opportunities for local community members and in-school outreach.

VoiceJam proudly partners with Vocal Asia a cappella festival. The winners of this year’s VoiceJam competition will be showcased in video format during the next VocalAsia Festival in addition to receiving a produced video of their VoiceJam set.

Up to eight groups can be selected to compete, and those groups will be announced on Monday, Feb. 5. 

The winner will be named VoiceJam champion and will receive a professionally produced video of their set. Judges will also award outstanding arrangement, vocal percussion, soloist and choreography. Cheer on these harmonizing, beatboxing, mind-blowing groups and cast your vote for aca-fan favorite.
