Previous OAC Winners
Celebrating four competitions' amazing performers
Each year, the Open A cappella Competition not only crowns a single winning group, but we also award second place, third place and five other special awards. All of these are chosen by our specialist judging panel, with the exception of the People's Choice Award, which is voted for purely by the public!

Over the years, we have chosen to add more awards to honour the talent that we get to see each year at the OAC. Every group also goes home with a participation award. Getting to the final ten and performing live on stage is an achievement in and of itself!
