LoveNotes also competed in the larger a cappella community. They participated in the Harmony Sweepstakes a cappella competition in 2009 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco where they won 1st place in their region and also received the award for Best Original Arrangement for Bohemian Rhapsody. They went on to compete at the Harmony Sweepstakes Nationals where they placed 2nd while also winning the Audience Favorite award. In November 2009 LoveNotes appeared in Nashville to compete for the first time on the international stage.
