Judges & Scoring
Here's how it all works...
We are looking for the full package...
...a choir that thrills all round.
A fresh and open scoring system
We feel it is important that Last Choir Singing is a competition
The new scoring system keeps the core choir elements of technique and musicality at its heart, but in equal measure rewards performance, stage presence and flair. In addition, we add in an audience vote - at all heats and the final, 25% of the vote is given to those in the seats. Via our scoring app, they rate each choir apart from their own.
New scoring criteria
Open and balanced, plus an audience vote!

Judges
Over the coming months, we will be introducing our 2026 judges.
Our judges will represent a diverse array of musical talent, choir leaders and industry professionals.
One thing that will differ from previous years is that the judges for the heats and the finals will be different. This means that songs performed in the heats can be confidently performed to a new panel should you wish to do so.
