ASA Judges Interest Form 2025-2026
We’re excited to see your interest in joining our judge pool! While selection isn’t guaranteed, expressing interest gives you a great chance to get involved. We encourage you to fill out this form with as much information as you can about your background and experience - you might be exactly who we’re looking for! If you are selected to be a part of our judge pool, we will contact you with next steps.

If you have filled out the form in previous years, you do not need to submit it again!

Feel free to reach out to judging@desiacappella.org if you have any questions!

You can apply to be judges for either our in-person bid competitions (between January and March 2026) or All-American Awaaz, our national championship (in April 2026, date and location TBA). We are looking for judges proficient in a cappella, South Asian music forms, and/or Western music forms. Competition judges may not be an active member of, have arranged for, or advised a South Asian a cappella team after December 2022.

We will announce our bid competition line up on our Instagram pages (@desiacappella, @allamericanawaaz) in a few weeks!
