BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 17, 2020 -Faithlife, makers of Logos Bible Software, and The Worship Initiative, created by praise band Shane & Shane, today announced a new song contest to provide aspiring worship leaders and songwriters from across the country the opportunity to be published.

“We know there are many talented and God-fearing musicians with songs to share, and that their music would bless churches if only they knew about them,” said Bob Pritchett, president and CEO of Faithlife. “This contest isn’t just an opportunity for musicians to have their music heard and be equipped for becoming more skilled creators; it’s a chance for Christians to have their worship experiences enriched.”

Contest entries are now being accepted, and all songs submitted by March 5 will be added to music.faithlife.com, a publicly accessible streaming site, where the public will vote for the winning song over a two-week period from March 6-19. Contest participants are encouraged to share their songs with friends and family to gain more ratings and reviews.

The winning songwriter will be announced on March 23 and awarded a FaceTime consultation with Shane & Shane, free access to worship team training through The Worship Initiative and a free subscription to Faithlife Proclaim, a cloud-based church presentation software.
