For each vote, supporters will be asked to donate one dollar ($1.00), which will be used to support the Contestant, his/her beneficiary Christian religious organization, organizations which promote the common good of the community (whose projects will be approved by the You, God’s Music™ Board in order to be funded) and more projects like this Showcase, sponsored by You God’s Music™.
Therefore, for every vote received, one dollar ($1.00) will be donated. Out of every dollar, 20 cents will be awarded to the Contestant that receives the vote and 20 cents will go his/her Christian religious beneficiary organization. Also, 20 cents will be donated to other non-profit organizations whose project for the good of the community will be presented and approved by the You, God’s Music™ Board. The other 40 cents will go to pay and promote similar activities by You, God’s Music™. All proceeds will be posted at the end of the Showcase.
At the end of every round, Contestants will be awarded with the prize money corresponding to the votes they obtained in that round. For example, if the Contestant obtained 5,000 votes at the first round, he/she will be awarded $1,000 at the end of the first round. The beneficiary Christian organization will also be awarded $1,000.
For the final round and only from the final round, the winner of the Showcase, instead of receiving 20 cent of the dollar amount that corresponds to the votes by the General Public received by him/her at the Finals, the Contestant will receive 80 cents of every dollar, while his/her beneficiary Christian religious organization will receive the other 20 cents. At the end of the live Showcase event, the winner will be announced and will receive his/her Cash Prize and a Recording Artist Package!
