Antigua and Barbuda has officially unveiled the second installment of its national gospel singing competition, Praise Break Gospel Quest, with registration now open for vocalists across the twin-island nation. Building upon the success of its inaugural season, the event aims to identify and nurture the next generation of gospel talent while revitalizing the local gospel music industry.
Positioned as both a competition and cultural movement, the initiative operates under the theme “Time to Shine,” encouraging singers from diverse backgrounds—including church congregations, community groups, choirs, and youth ministries—to showcase their artistic and spiritual gifts. Organizers emphasize that the quest represents more than mere performance; it constitutes a strategic effort to elevate gospel music’s profile and create meaningful platforms for artistic expression.
“The time for change is now,” declared event coordinators. “Praise Break Gospel Quest injects fresh energy into our gospel music landscape. This is the definitive opportunity for gifted vocalists to gain visibility and recognition.”
The competition maintains an inclusive participation policy, welcoming both emerging and established singers regardless of age. In a significant programming development, the Grand Finals will feature as a centerpiece of Antigua and Barbuda’s inaugural National Easter Festival, amplifying the event’s cultural significance.
Prospective contestants must complete registration by March 22, 2026, through either the official online portal or physical registration forms. With the organizational framework established, anticipation grows regarding which vocalists will emerge as the nation’s newest gospel ambassadors.
