The World Beatbox Association is a brand new organization run with one goal in mind; to create a unified global scene of human beatboxers, events and event organizers. Through our work with partners around the planet, we've already set up 2 national championships scheduled for 2010 in America and Canada, and are working towards the biggest and best International Beatbox Convention ever! We feel that there are great gains to be made by using our brand to empower local organizers to create the structures for their own scenes.
