WELCOME TO THE WORLD’S LARGEST AMATEUR SINGING COMPETITION.

The Karaoke World Championships is an annual singing competition involving nearly 40 countries, and spanning 6 continents.

Every year KWC Countries run national competitions in their respective countries to determine who will move on to represent their nations at the World Championships.

It is with the health and safety of our singers, their friends and family, and our audience members in mind, that we must announce that due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, 

both the KWC UK competition and the 2021 KWC World Finals will be held online again this year.

We will be using a new format in order to give all of the National Champions the spotlight they deserve. The finals event will span several weeks, see preliminary schedule below.

This online competition is for solo singers only and the UK can send 3 contestants to compete for the World Title.  We will still have one overall UK Champion, but 2nd and 3rd place will still qualify to go through to compete in the World Finals.
