Now Accepting Entries In All Genres and Categories of Christian Music

The grand prize winner will receive a recording contract with a national recording label.

Finalists from across the country have performed on the show – from California to New York, from Wisconsin to Florida.

CHARLOTTE – INSP – The Inspiration Network is announcing the fifth season of its popular Christian Artists Talent Search (C.A.T.S.). Now an established platform for discovering new talent, C.A.T.S. brings together 64 finalists from around the country to perform on national television with the winner receiving a national recording contract from Point of Grace Entertainment record label.

“During the first four years of C.A.T.S., we have witnessed extraordinary talent with entries from every part of the country,” said Fred Shaheen, Senior Producer. “We believe that in the fifth season, we will continue to see the best Christian talent the country has to offer, and C.A.T.S. provides them the platform to showcase their talent.”

Shaheen said that entries will be accepted from soloists and groups until April 21, 2006. Submissions from all forms of Christian music are acceptable, including: Gospel, Contemporary, Southern Gospel, Rock, and Rap/Hip Hop. To qualify, contestants must enter a CD or audiocassette with two Christian songs, two copies of a recent photo, and two copies of their biography. All entrants must be 15 years of age or older by April 21, 2006.

Finalists will compete in televised competitions that will be produced at INSP’s studios in Charlotte, NC. The fifth season of C.A.T.S. will begin airing in January 2007. Music industry professionals and celebrity judges from the Christian entertainment genre will judge the performances and select a winner from the 64 finalists.
