The public is being asked to vote for their favourite choir in a singing competition.

The Lancashire Choir of the Year competition is open to choirs across the county.

It aims to bring together choirs from communities, workplaces, and schools to showcase their talent.

A panel of experienced musicians has narrowed down the entries to a final shortlist of six.

The public can now vote for their favourite in the 'People's Choice Award' category.

The shortlisted choirs are the Barton Road Community Choir, the Basics Vocalize Choir, the Capricorn Singers, the Red Rosettes Show Choir, the Rossendale Festival Choir, and the Song Rooms Choir.

Last year, the Nelson Ladies' Civic Choir took home the top prize in the competition.

These six will perform at a live final on November 28 at Lancaster University, where the overall winner of the Lancashire Choir of the Year 2024 will be announced.

The 'People's Choice' award winner and runner-up prizes will also be revealed.

Councillor Peter Buckley, cabinet member for Community and Cultural Services, said: "This is your chance to listen to some of the very best singing talent that we have from across Lancashire – and to vote for your favourite to win the coveted People's Choice Award."
