About
- The Land O' Lakes District's spring Division conventions serve as both Division quartet contests and District qualifiers. Quartets placing well in the spring Division contests qualify to compete in the District contest at the fall convention.
- Each year, one Division convention is chosen to also conduct the International qualifier quartet contest.
- This table, and the title "District Champions", refer to the "open" competition/category. At contest time, all four singers must be members in good standing of both the Barbershop Harmony Society and the Land O' Lakes District, and the quartet name and personnel registered with the Society.
