This year's competition, which is a part of the European Union's Viva Europa 2011 celebrations, features five choirs competing in the High School category. In the Open Category (groups that are either university, college, community or church based), twelve choirs will compete in the semi finals to be among the eight advancing to the grand finals. Joining the eight choirs at the grand finals are last year's first prize winner and runner up: UPLB Chorale Ensemble and Tarlac State University Choir respectively.

The semi finals for the Open Category will happen on May 18 while the grand finals for both the High School and Open Categories will take place a day later on May 19. Cash prize worth P25,000 along with a trophy will be awarded to the first prize winner of the High School Category while P60,000 as well as a trophy await the first prize winner of the Open Category. Cash prizes and trophies will be awarded also to choirs finishing second and third in both categories.
