USA Regional Map

Click on a region to go its' corresponding regional page.

KWCUSA has divided the United States into 10 regions, each with 5 states.

A seperate page has been created for each region.

Every regional page contains information about regional finals and contests in five states.

Vist your regional page and scroll down (or click) to your state to find hosts.

All official hosts are listed. If in doubt about a contest in your area, please check your regional page to make sure. (Please report in great detail anything suspicious, including our forms being used for unrelated contests. All hosts will be listed on their respective regional pages without exception.)

Not every contest will be listed, so contestants are urged to follow the links to host's web sites, and contact your local hosts by telephone or email for current information. Contestants may enter from any state or region, (entry level) contests held in any other state or region too.

We are now working on contests for our younger singers, and hope to put on a larger show which may include an exhibition or convention. The key to this is sponsorship by the industry and potential advertisors and sponsors are encouraged to also contact our hosts individually.

Each region contains five states. Each state will have one host assigned to host the state finals. Each region will have one host assigned to host the regional finals. The winners of the regional finals shall be entitled to compete in the USA final contest.

We need contestants. Preliminary qualifying contests are from August through December each year.

We need Hosts for these event. Hundreds will be required.

We need Karaoke businesses to participate as USA Hosts.

Qualify to host just a single local event, or a tournament, by volunteering to host an additional contest for KWCUSA.

Existing local competitions are especially encouraged to contact us immediately so that your event can be included in the World Championships competition run offs as an official event.

Are you the happening Karaoke Host in your area? Get your events sanctioned as part of this contest, and send the winners on the road to world karaoke domination, (and present them with a 'local winners certificate' to participate in the next level of competition.)

Details will be posted here as they unfold so bookmark this page and check back often.

Additional entry fees may be set and collected with the KWCUSA entry fee ($20) by the hosts.

We do not guarantee that they will be enough to fully cover the expense of a round trip ticket and accommodations to Finland for the winners, but we set them at an amount which will (hopefully) permit this as well as the offset the cost of competing in USA regionals.

The contest is open to everyone of age to participate. If you sing, we will try to find an event for you to enter. Transportation will be up to the contestants, and the age limitations of the venues may prevent under age contestants from advancing until venues are found which permit them. (Ages 16-20 are advised that this may prevent their full participation as they may not have the chance to compete in the runoffs and finals due to local laws. Be advised that we will not refund entry fees based upon this limitation and that young singers who do find local venues in which they may compete will still be required to pay the full fee to the host to compete in a single event.)

Do you have a Karaoke Website? We need your help too!

You can participate in listing schedules for local competitions, or regional events and display pictures and bios of the winners.

We will list your site here (or provide a link to the listings from here) so the singers will easily find their local contest hosts and competitions (you.)
