You, God’s Music, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring, discovering, and promoting faith-based music and musicians. We host competitions, events, and initiatives to encourage artists to share their God-given talent and spread positive messages through music.

The Showcase is primarily online, with Auditions (Round 1), Round 2, and the Semifinals all taking place virtually. The live portion of the Showcase is the Final Event, where the Top 5 finalists are flown to San Antonio to perform live at the Tobin Center during the last week of July each year.

Our mission is to unite people through the power of music that glorifies God. We aim to support artists of all ages and denominations by providing a platform where they can showcase their gifts and reach a wider audience.

Our competitions are open to individuals and groups of ages 16+ who create music that uplifts and glorifies God. We welcome artists from all Christian denominations and styles—gospel, contemporary Christian, worship, traditional hymns, and more.

Auditions may be submitted from the United States, Canada, Mexico, UK, US Territories, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and South Africa.

Auditions can be submitted in English, Spanish, or a combination of both.

No! Our mission includes discovering new talent. Whether you are an experienced musician, a church choir member, or simply someone who loves to sing and create music, you are encouraged to participate.

Click the Audition Now button at the top of our website. You’ll be asked to create an artist account and verify it through your email. Once verified, you can complete the audition form and upload your video directly through your account.

Your beneficiary is the Christian charity such as your church that you’d like to receive 20% of your donation votes each round.

If you don’t select a beneficiary, that portion will be directed to a charity chosen by You, God’s Music. The charity we choose changes each Showcase.

You may update your beneficiary before voting begins (for Round 1, that’s April 17, 2026). Once voting has started, you cannot change it during that round. If you advance to Round 2 or beyond, you’ll have the option to update your beneficiary again before each new voting period begins.

Auditions are usually reviewed within one week of submission, though times may vary depending on the judges’ schedules. All auditions are reviewed and posted before voting begins.

All auditions are posted before the voting period ends and are uploaded in the order they are accepted. If you submit your audition closer to the deadline (April 17), it may take longer to appear due to the high volume of submissions at that time. Posting videos takes time, so we appreciate your patience.

Yes! Each contestant will receive custom graphics for every round they advance to. Graphics are typically delivered about one week after your video is accepted, and all contestants will have their graphics before voting begins.

These graphics are created using your video thumbnail. To ensure consistency, please avoid changing your thumbnail image within 48 hours before voting begins, as your graphics will already be scheduled for posting on our social channels once they are sent to you.

Some graphics will also be shared on our social media accounts during the voting period in a randomized order. If you don’t see your graphic posted right away, don’t worry—it’s coming! If you provided your Instagram username in your submission form, we’ll also tag you when your graphic is shared.

Go to the Music Page and use the search bar to find the contestant by name or thumbnail image. Click on their thumbnail, then select Vote Now to enter your donation amount (a minimum of 5 votes is required).

Each vote is $1. Your donation is distributed as follows:

• 20% to the contestant

• 20% to their chosen charity

• 60% to produce the Final event on July 25, 2026 in San Antonio

All donations go toward supporting those in need and uplifting emerging Christian artists.

Log in to your artist account and go to your profile wall. Click on the Music Video tab, then select the pink circle labeled Donation Votes.

Be sure to thank your supporters who have voted for you!

Please note: you must view your donation votes before the next voting period begins. Once a new round starts, you will no longer be able to see donation votes from the previous round if you advance.

Checks are issued within 1–2 weeks after each voting period ends and mailed via USPS. Delivery times may vary depending on postal service schedules. Contestants must receive a minimum of $50 in total votes to receive their checks.

Yes! 🎶 All Final events are streamed on our YouTube Channel. The full Showcase will be available to watch the week following the Finals.

Tune in to experience the Top 5 contestants performing live before judges Jordan Smith, Jordan Feliz, and Blanca. You’ll also see Jason Crabb as host and enjoy a special headlining performance!
