The Harmony Sweepstakes is the Super Bowl of vocal music. The annual national competition receives hundreds of video submissions from vocal groups from all over the world through its regional competitions in eight cities. New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Portland/Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago will each send a winning group from its respective festival to perform in front of celebrity judges and a sold-out house at the National Finals in San Rafael, CA, on Saturday, May 20.

Harmony Sweepstakes (known colloquially as "Sweeps") has been around for over 30 years. Sweeps was actually the inspiration for NBC's "The Sing-Off."

Harmony Sweepstakes National Finals will be streamed LIVE on FloVoice on Saturday, May 20, at 8 PM!

This year's Sweeps will be hosted by 2016 Grand Champion Stiletta

Some of the past Grand Champions include:

• Naturally 7
• Groove For Thought
• MAXX Factor
• The Idea of North
• M-Pact
• SoVoSo
• Honey Whiskey Trio
• Plumbers of Rome

The groups that have earned the illustrious title of Harmony Sweepstakes National Champions have gone on to great success throughout vocal music. After more than 30 years of competitions, the majority of national champions still continue to thrive.

Naturally 7, the champions in 1999, were signed to Sony Records and have toured internationally for years as the openers to Michael Buble. M-Pact were named Billboard Magazine's "Best Unsigned Artist of the Year." Hi Fidelity performs frequently on "Last Call with Carson Daly." Six Appeal, the 2012 champs, landed an agent after wining the event and now have a busy touring schedule throughout the country.

After winning Sweeps in 2009, Maxx Factor went on to become Sweet Adeline's International Queens of Harmony and, along with several of the other Sweeps National Champions such as Groove For Thought and Northshore A Cappella, appeared on the "The Sing-Off."
