In both caliber of performances and sheer volume of competitors, our 20th ICCA season is going to be HUGE!


Congratulations to all the groups accepted to the 2016 ICCA lineup! There are 341 groups in our tournament this year — and that’s not counting the UK (whose deadline to apply is today!).

ICCA2016MAPThis season, we’ve added TWO new regions! ICCA Central splits the eastern part of the old ICCA Great Lakes region and the western part of the old ICCA Mid-Atlantic. The old ICCA West has been split into ICCA Northwest and ICCA Southwest. That will mean we have 8 regions in the US and Canada, one UK region, and of course one wild card. A record 10 groups will make it to 2016 ICCA Finals to represent the world’s best in a college a cappella.

Unfortunately, even with these huge splits, there are some areas where we had to eliminate groups. If you don’t see your group’s name on the list, we hope we’ll hear from you again next season. Be sure to attend an ICCA event — they’re a great learning experience, even from the audience.

When possible, we’ve assigned groups to quarterfinal rounds. Please view our 2015 competition schedule to see where groups are competing this year! In the central region, we are still in a holding pattern as we are of course still scheduling events in this brand-new region. We’ll have them posted as soon as possible.

Tickets for most quarterfinal and semifinal rounds go on sale on December 1. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for a reminder! Please remember that many events do sell out in advance, so we recommend picking up tickets in advance of the show.

Congratulations to our accepted groups, and welcome to the 20th anniversary season of the ICCA!
