KWC History

The Karaoke World Championships originated in Finland in 2003 with seven countries. Now in its 6th year, the competition features nearly 30 countries worldwide. 2008 is Australia's fourth year of participation.

National trials are conducted in each participating country each year with the winners competing in the international finals for the titles of male & female Karaoke World Champions. Finland was originally the host country for the international finals with Thailand being the first to host the finals outside of Finland in 2007. In 2006, the finals were held aboard the M/S Galaxy sailing from Helsinki to Estonia return.
