The Gospel Coalition celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. As part of marking this milestone, we decided to host a song and video contest in which we challenged Christian creatives to put the gospel to song or capture it in a compelling video. A big part of TGC’s mission over the last two decades has been—and continues to be—to renew the contemporary church in the ancient gospel. We want to rally believers around the central importance of the gospel, reasserting its grandeur and preeminence rather than assuming it. This contest flows out of that mission.
We received nearly 200 entries from creatives representing 10-plus nations, each responding (in song or video format) to the prompt “What is the gospel?” We loved reviewing all the submissions, each with its own flavor, genre, and storytelling approach. Contest entries came from both professional and amateur artists, both young and old, including many church-based worship groups. It was inspiring to see this creative outpouring in celebration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
