GCGT is a
social development project of the RCCG Apapa family which distinguished itself this
year by opening up its doors to a wide range of non – RCCG contestants across Nigeria.
The gospel talent hunt is focused on discovering, grooming and producing young
talents and stars in various fields of artistic expressions across Nigeria, the
United Kingdom, Europe and the United States of America.
This year’s
grand finale will be taking place on the 30th of May at the Eko
Hotel and Suites Lagos and the competition will be presided over by leading
performing and non-performing Artistes who will help along with the audience votes to determine
the winner of the (N5m) five million
Naira star prize.
Sarah
Boulous, Founder of the Society for performing Acts of Nigeria (SPAN), Uti
Nwachukwu, Dayo Benjamin-Laniyun, Wale Oni, Youth Maverick, Zuriel Oduwole, Jeremiah Gyang and many others
are the Grand finale Judges. Cobhams Asuquo will be the performing Guest
Artistes.
One of
the highlights of this year’s event is the release of a single by the GCGT
Season 5 Brand Ambassador Ms. Praise Olorunsuyi, an undergraduate of the University
of Lagos who won in the singing category in 2015.
Pastor
Idowu Iluyomade; Head of Apapa family, explained that the vision of the initiative
is to engage children/teens in a positive way, using their talents to glorify
God in his words; “God’s Children’s Great Talent was born out of a desire to
identify and nurture the diverse talents available in children. We are delighted a multinational brand such as Cadbury Bournvita, The Address Homes limited, Airtel, The Riverbank
School, Alexander Forbes, Businessday and many other media partners” are
sponsors of the 2016 edition.
