NATSAA COMPETITION

"Throughout its history the purpose of this [NATSAA] competition has been to select, through a series of elimination rounds on the district, regional, and national levels, singers whose artistry indicates that they are ready for a professional career and to encourage them toward that goal with a cash prize and the opportunity for performance engagements."

The competition takes place during the Spring and Summer of even-numbered years, in conjunction with NATS National Conventions. Preliminary competitions begin with District auditions, the winners of which advance to Regional Auditions. Each regional winner participates at the Semi Final Auditions at the beginning of the National Convention.  The finalists are presented at a main-event, NATSAA Final Auditions, during the convention.
