1. Auditions
From January to April 2012 choirs will compete in their allocated Audition venue having entered one of four categories.. Find out more.

2. National Selection
The National Selection Stage is effectively a moderation round where judges listen again to all of the Choirs of the Day from the Auditions. They will select four choirs in each category to go through to the Category Finals. This stage does not include a live event.
3. Category Finals
Four choirs in each category will perform Manchester's Bridgewater Hall on 6 October 2012. There will be two shows - the Children and Open Finals and the Youth and Adult Finals. Judges will select one winner in each category. Together with two 'Wildcards' selected from the remaining finalists, the four category winners will compete at the Grand Final.
