History
Founded in 1996 by Adam Farb and Deke Sharon, the ICCA tournament takes place from January through April in six regions: West, Midwest, South, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Europe.
The ICCA has been presented by Varsity Vocals since 1999, when it was purchased by Don Gooding (a cappella.com, Contemporary A Cappella Publishing).
In 2005, the success of the ICCA produced a spin-off competition, the International Championship of High School A Cappella (ICHSA).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
