The Harold Haugh Light Opera Vocal Competition has been held since 2000. Often cited by competitors as light-hearted, it is fittingly based on the realm of Light Opera. Previously held in Jackson, MI, it has now been relocated to Ann Arbor, MI. Singers are judged by a distinguished panel on two songs, one a technical number and the other a number from light opera.  Nine cash awards will be presented. Vocal quality and the ability to act and entertain are given equal weight. The competition was named for a man who followed a long professional career with years of teaching singers how to succeed. The current panel will give all entrants advice on building their presentation as well.
