The 2025 Karaoke World Championships (KWC) finals are set to take place in Bangkok, Thailand. Between November 3rd and 8th, talented singers from over 30 countries will showcase their skills, competing for coveted World Champion titles in both Solo and Duet categories, as well as in the all-new KWC Song Contest.

Prizes this year include cash rewards, sponsor gifts, and recognition in several categories, public favorites, and surprise awards. The Solo World Champion will also receive an extraordinary grand prize: a paid trip to perform at the 2026 World Finals and the opportunity to record and release an original song with Up!HitMusic, a renowned international music production company.

NEW GLOBAL SONG COMPETITION AND INNOVATIVE FEATURES FOR 2025

For the first time ever, KWC invites songwriters and producers to take center stage in the newly introduced KWC Song Contest. Each participating country will submit one original song, culminating in the announcement of the first-ever KWC Song Contest Winner during the finals in Bangkok this November.

KWC continues to evolve, offering fresh and engaging elements each year. In 2025, audiences can look forward to hearing more national influences from all participating countries, reflecting the rich diversity of global talent.

THAILAND, POLAND AND GREECE JOINING KWC!


Posted on: December 13, 2023

Thailand, Poland and Greece joining KWC!

We are happy to announce more countries for this year 2024!

KWC works with an international network of event organizers that we call Country Partners. They are the ones who make all the arrangements for the national KWC competitions and bring the best singers from each country to World Finals.

We are constantly looking for partners in new countries, and today we are happy to announce three new countries that will join KWC in 2024: Thailand, Poland and Greece.

Bangkok Live, a subdivision of Up! Entertainment Group, is our new KWC Thailand partner and will host the national finals starting in 2024. They will play a pivotal role in bringing together the most talented voices from across the country to compete for the opportunity to represent Thailand in the prestigious international competition. Thailand will join KWC for the first time since 2015.

Greece and Poland will both join with local event organizers also starting with their national trials in early 2024. This is the first time in the history of KWC to have a national KWC Greece competition. The country has been represented through the global Video Challenge before.

Poland used to be an elemental part of KWC in the early years of the competition, but hasn't been represented since 2011. We are extremely happy to have these three countries as members of our Global KWC Family, and we hope to be able to announce more soon!

All national competitions and their links will be updated on the Countries page and they will be held between January and August.

Our next World finals, KWC 2024 Turku, will take place in Finland during the second week of October.
