Sweet Adelines Hotel Block opens to non-competing attendees in June 2025. Why the wait? We must reserve hotel rooms for competing choruses first. To receive the discounted rate, registered attendees must wait to book through our official hotel reservations site that will be available here, on our website! Thank you for your patience. Please do not call the hotels directly to book a room. If you do this, you will not receive the Sweet Adelines discounted rate.
Reservations for competing choruses and quartets will be initiated by our Events Department. If you have questions, please email events@sweetadelines.com.
Sweet Adelines judges spend hours ensuring the most accurate scores. Their detail, focus, and dedication are world-renowned. Without further ado, here is the official judging panel for the 2025 International Competition.
