Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards

(If you are a nominator or judge, you can go ahead and login.)

Unbenownst to many mainstream music listeners, there exists an entire community of music-makers that dedicate their time and/or careers to making music with nothing but the human voice. This community has grown enormously over the past two decades and now includes lovers of all kinds of music, united in the common goal of expanding the horizons of what can be produced without instruments.

Recorded a cappella has an appeal all its own. By taking what can be captured in live performance, and using studio techniques similiar to those used by the biggest stars of today, a cappella music – be it classical, jazz, or rock – has reached a new height. As the industry of recorded a cappella grows, our music form is reaching new fans and inspiring new singers daily.

The annual Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards recognize the best recorded a cappella and aim to support this burgeoning culture of instrumentless enthusiasts. We are the only truly global a cappella recording awards. Every year since 1992 hundreds of albums are considered in this celebration of the best a cappella recorded around the planet.
