**Note: Sweet Adelines International's regional competitions are held each year in March-May time frame, and international competition is held each year in late September, October or early November. In 1993, the Sweet Adelines International and Coronet Club (organization of champion quartets) boards of directors agreed that the international quartet and chorus champions are more aptly designated by the calendar year during which they primarily hold their titles rather than the year in which they win their titles. Thus, there are no "1993 International Champions." The quartet and chorus that won in 1993 were designated "1994 International Champions," and all subsequent international champions have titles following the new system.
