Shining Bright Since 1999! The Rising Star Quartet Contest is open to women ages 25 and younger. Singers do not need to be members of Sweet Adelines International to compete. Some great quartets got their competitive start in the Rising Star Quartet Contest. Rising Star champion quartets LoveNotes (2005, as UnderAge), ClassRing (2014) and The Ladies (2016) went on to become Sweet Adelines International champion quartets (2014, 2019, and 2023, respectively). Hot Pursuit (2018) went on to become Harmony, Inc. 2019 Quartet Champions. But Rising Star isn’t only about winning. It’s about the joy of singing barbershop with other young singers, the thrill of performing on stage, and most of all, the friendships and memories.
