Welcome to Rejoice Alberta – Season 8 Auditions

Rejoice Alberta is a Christian singing competition created to glorify God, discover and nurture talent, showcase Christian music, and bring people closer to Christ through powerful lyrics and inspired performances. Our goal is also to build community through a warm, friendly, and healthy competition while helping artists gain access to the music industry.

Now in its eighth season, Rejoice Alberta offers contestants the opportunity to grow musically, share their God-given gifts with a larger audience, and compete for a recording contract and a cash prize of up to $5,000 CAD.

In-Person Audition Process

Welcome to your in-person audition. Contestants will showcase their vocal gifts before a panel of up to five judges, who will provide brief feedback and vote YES or NO.

You must receive a minimum of three YES votes to earn a GOLD TICKET, which qualifies you for the next stage of the competition.

A pre- and post-audition interview will be conducted to capture your journey. While optional, participation is highly encouraged.

A camera crew will be present in the audition room. Audition videos can be made available upon request.
