Nassau, The Bahamas - Annually, “Da Fam” hosts its mega gospel concert “Fam-Fest”, which brings together thousands of families, for a weekend of fun and uplifting entertainment. This year, BTC will again be a partner for the event and has added the first ever “BTC Fam-Fest Gospel Voice Competition” as a new element.

The competition was opened for entrants on social media on September 9th. Entrants between the ages of eighteen and fifty, will vie for the opportunity to work with an internationally acclaimed producer to record a single and a professional music video. The winner, will also have the opportunity to work with an international A&R team and perform live at Fam-Fest 2016.

The thirty-minute, five-week reality show styled competition, which will be hosted by John-Dennis Stewart, will kick off on Thursday, September 29th at 8:00pm. The competition will air live on social media and will be judged by well-known voice coaches and worship leaders in the gospel community including; Necole Watson, Shaun Thompson, Kent Johnson (Christian Massive) and Kurlin Knowles. The final judging is expected to be done by two international gospel artists.

CEO Leon Williams said, “There is a wealth of talent in our country, just waiting for an opportunity to be unearthed. As a corporate citizen, we believe it is our job to do our part to help to unearth this talent wherever we can. This is why we continue to invest millions of dollars in youth, sports and community endeavours annually.”

The BTC Fam-Fest Gospel Voice Competition, will be second talent based competition that BTC has put on. In 2009, the company introduced “BTC Starmaker”. In its five seasons, hundreds of talented Bahamians have competed in a series of challenges to be next spokesperson for BTC. During “BTC Starmaker”, the company provided over $150,000 in cash and prizes for the winners.
