Welcome to the combined European Barbershop and SNOBS Regional Convention 2025!

Three years after EBC 2021+1 was held in Helsingborg, it’s again our pleasure to invite you to the European Barbershop Convention 2025! This time SNOBS alone is proud to organize the convention and we are expecting and hoping for participants from all organizations across the BHS/SA/Harmony Inc network. SNOBS Regional Convention 2025 will take place at the same time, in parallel.

The convention will be be held in Helsingborg Arena, as in 2022, and the logistics around the convention will be similar to last time. Having learned from the 2022 convention, we are positive that this will be a fantastic convention.

A double panel of BHS judges will be present, making this the perfect place to qualify for the Barbershop Harmony Society international competition. The quartet competition setup includes semi finals, which means that quartets need to prepare 2+2 songs.

The EBC competition is open for:

  • EBC 2021+1 champions
  • Groups nominated by their organisations,
  • Groups qualified via Video qualification

Quartet and chorus champions will be appointed in each category (men, mix, women) and medals will be awarded the top 3 groups in each category. EBC Grand Prix trophies will be awarded to the highest scoring quartet and chorus regardless of category. For detailed information see Qualification to EBC2025 and Contest Setup EBC2025.

The SNOBS competition will run according to the regular SNOBS contest setup, and in parallel with EBC, so that SNOBS groups qualified for EBC can take part in both competitions at the same time.

Application to compete is now open, with deadline Dec 15th for choruses and February 28th for quartets.
