You, God’s Music™ welcomes you with open arms and prays that your music message is heard by many people. We are looking forward to the opportunity to witness your ministry and your talent, to worship God! You, God's Music™, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, with the mission to promote up-and-coming Christian artists, encourage unity and joy among Christian groups through music, and help fund other organizations, which promote the common good of our communities.


- Recognize and reward talented contestants who are using their gifts to glorify God.
- Support meaningful Christian organizations chosen by the Contestants.
- Fund community outreach and charitable missions selected by our Board of Directors.
- Help cover the cost of producing the Showcase and expanding its reach.
- 20% goes directly to the Contestant, as a reward for their efforts and talent.
- 20% is allocated to the Contestant’s chosen beneficiary, such as a church, nonprofit, or Christian educational organization.
- 60% is used to support nonprofits selected by our Board of Directors that serve communities in need, while also helping to sustain the Showcase itself.
We are happy to share that the Board of Directors has selected Habitat for Humanity as this year’s official sponsoring charity, supporting Habitat’s mission to provide safe and affordable housing for families in need.
To qualify for disbursement, Contestants must receive a minimum of $50 in total votes per round. This ensures both the Contestant and their beneficiary are eligible to receive their respective 20% portions.
Transparency and Impact:
All proceeds will be carefully documented and publicly posted at the conclusion of the Showcase to ensure full transparency. Contestants will receive prize money based on the number of votes they accumulate in each round. For example:
- If a Contestant receives 5,000 votes in Round One, they will be awarded $1,000, and their selected Christian organization will also receive $1,000.
- The Showcase Winner will receive 80 cents of every dollar corresponding to their final vote total.
- Their beneficiary organization will receive the remaining 20 cents per dollar.
Thank you for supporting this incredible initiative. Together, we are building a culture of generosity, artistic excellence, and joyful witness to the Gospel through music.
