The 2025 Karaoke World Championships (KWC) finals are set to take place at the prestigious 515 Victory venue in Bangkok, Thailand. Between November 3rd and 8th, talented singers from over 30 countries will showcase their skills, competing for coveted World Champion titles in both Solo and Duet categories, as well as in the all-new KWC Song Contest.
Prizes this year include cash rewards, sponsor gifts, and recognition in several categories, public favorites, and surprise awards. The Solo World Champion will also receive an extraordinary grand prize: a paid trip to perform at the 2026 World Finals and the opportunity to record and release an original song with Up!HitMusic, a renowned international music production company.
NEW GLOBAL SONG COMPETITION AND INNOVATIVE FEATURES FOR 2025
For the first time ever, KWC invites songwriters and producers to take center stage in the newly introduced KWC Song Contest. Each participating country will submit one original song, culminating in the announcement of the first-ever KWC Song Contest Winner during the finals in Bangkok this November.
KWC continues to evolve, offering fresh and engaging elements each year. In 2025, audiences can look forward to hearing more national influences from all participating countries, reflecting the rich diversity of global talent.
A full list of 2025 updates and enhancements will soon be available on the official KWC website. Later this week, KWC Producer Luca Gargano will also share a special video outlining what to expect in the upcoming season.
