The Gospel Coalition is pleased to announce our first-ever song and video contest.
In anticipation of TGC’s 20th anniversary in 2025, we want to mobilize creatives to make fresh, artistically excellent, effective gospel presentations in two powerful art forms: music and video.
There are two ways you can enter—by submitting either an original song or an original short video. But in both contests, the prompt is the same: “What is the gospel?” How can you summarize the gospel—or some aspect of it—in a song or short video? How can you create something so beautiful and compelling that it might end up winning over skeptics and unbelievers to the beautiful good news of Jesus Christ?
Song Contest
We’re inviting talented Christian musicians to write and record an original song, in any musical genre, that communicates the gospel in a creative, beautiful way. Up to eight winners will be selected and awarded cash prizes, in addition to their songs being included in a TGC-produced compilation album.
Video Contest
We’re inviting talented Christian filmmakers and video content creators to create a short video (under 5 minutes) that communicates the gospel in a creative, beautiful way. The winner will receive a cash prize and have his or her video featured on TGC’s website and social media.
Submission Deadline and Judging Timeline
For both the song and video contests, the entry deadline is December 1, 2024. Judging of entries will take place in December and January, with winners announced in early February 2025.
