Home / National Spotlight

The door opens here.

A national call for creators of every kind — independent artists, musicians, singers, poets, speakers and storytellers, including the ones who have only ever posted from their bedroom. We are not asking who is best. We are asking who has something worth sharing.

Not A Competition

Real exposure, and nobody gets eliminated.

This is not a talent competition and there is no single winner. Our philosophy is to invest in creators, not eliminate them. Every submission is reviewed with one question in mind: does this deserve a bigger audience?

The first ten creators selected become Founding National Spotlight Creators.

Submission FAQ

Before you send

Is there a cost to submit?

No. Submitting to National Spotlight is completely free, and there is no obligation to purchase or enroll in anything afterwards.

Do I need professional experience?

No. We are looking for people with something meaningful to share, not necessarily polish. If you are selected we help with the rest.

Can I submit music made with AI tools?

Yes. AI-assisted and AI-native submissions are accepted. If selected, you will sign our AI content disclosure paperwork before your feature airs.

Do you take any rights to my submission?

No. Submitting gives us permission to review your work and, if selected, to broadcast it. You keep your masters, your publishing and every other right you hold.

Who can submit?

Anyone 18 or older. If you are under 18 a parent or guardian submits on your behalf. Bands, groups, choirs and ministries should designate an adult representative.

What happens if I am not selected?

Your submission may be kept on file for future MBSGG programming or Bloodstone Legacy Academy, unless you ask us not to.
