Mechanics

Submission Guidelines (Pre-Checking)
• Deadline: 10 days before the event.
• Submit lyrics with the specific Psalm references clearly indicated.
• Provide a brief written explanation of the song’s intention and message.
• Submissions will be reviewed to ensure that the Scripture reference and songwriter’s message are aligned.
• No melody submission is required during this stage – only lyrics and explanation.
Event Day
• Participants will perform their original songs live.
• Judges will evaluate based on the four criteria: Theology, Melody, Creativity, and Clarity.
• Final scoring breakdown: Theology (50%) + Melody (25%) + Creativity (15%) + Clarity (10%).
