Have you got what it takes to win Choir of the Year 2010?
Choir of the Year is a biennial festival of singing, bringing together amateur choirs from all four corners of the UK. Thousands of singers of all ages take part, performing music across a huge range of styles - medieval carols to musical theatre, traditional Afro-Cuban to pop.

The preliminary round takes place at venues across the UK and choirs are judged on their musicality, performance and technical achievement. Only the best choirs in each category are selected to go through to the finals, broadcast on BBC television and radio.

Are you ready for the challenge?

The 2010 competition will open for entry later this year.
