2026 BHA Western Region Quartet Contest

We're kicking off the 2026 Western Region Festival with our annual Regional Quartet Contest! The Western Region Quartet Contest gives WA barbershop quartets the opportunity to engage in friendly competition with each other, and to receive in-person feedback from our panel of expert judges. The Regional Contest is also the qualifying round for entry into the BHA National Quartet Contest later in the year, to be held in Newcastle.
Medals are up for grabs in various categories, including (but not limited to) the BHA Open, Men's, Women's, Mixed and Senior divisions, as well as Invitational and Schools divisions! In addition, the top-performing quartets will be invited to perform at the A Cappella Showcase, to be held in the evening of Festival day.
We are grateful to once again have the support of Methodist Ladies' College.
