This season, anything goes! CGT is cutting new ground: moving from musically oriented talent performances to anything but music!
Although we will return to music in Spring 2022 within CGT Season 5, in CGT Season 4, we're celebrating the whole spectrum of Crusader talent and looking for submissions that encompass hobbies, abilities, interests, and talents that run the gamut. We are using this season to celebrate that there exists no corner of the universe around which Christ does not throw His arms and declare, "Mine!" According to Psalm 37, quite literally, He gives us the desires of our hearts...all of the things that we enjoy doing...we enjoy them because He gave us that desire! Our mission is to discover how we can use those things to glorify His name and grow His kingdom. Let's do that together in Season 4!
CGT Season 4 will enjoy three divisions for submissions:
(1) Elementary (grades K-5)
(2) Middle School (grades (6-8)
(3) High School (grades 9-12)
Within the elementary division, CGT will be
accepting submissions in a "general" category.
Within both the MS and HS,
we are looking for submissions in three categories:
(1) General
(2) Skateboarding
(3) Culinary arts
What are the prizes? In each division and within each category, qualified judges will identify the top three submissions and these submissions will be presented during the CGT Season 4 event live on Facebook on Thursday, October 7th. During the event, viewers will have the ability to vote for their favorite submission via text-based voting. The top vote-earner in each of the six categories will receive a $500 cash prize.
How and when do I submit? Submissions should be in photograph or video form (.m4a or .mp4) and sent to CrusadersGotTalent@ncsaz.org by midnight on Sunday, October 3rd. Video submissions should not exceed two minutes in length.
What sorts of talents will be accepted in the general category? In the general category, we are looking for talents that may include the following: dance, gymnastics, BMX, go-kart racing, photography, drawing, painting, animation, Rubik's cubing, woodworking, sewing, diving, drift trikes, nail painting, water skiing, embroidery, origami, model making, bee keeping, juggling, crochet, bottle-flipping, basketball trick shots, calligraphy, scrapbooking, archery, pottery, jewelry making, coin collecting, stamp collecting, geocaching, jigsaw puzzling, sculpting, quilting, parachuting, rocket launching, and so many more! Quite literally...any hobby, talent, or interest for which the Lord has placed a joy in your heart!
What is the skateboarding category? To be considered in this category, submissions should come in video form and be two minutes in length. In those two minutes, show viewers your top tricks and skills. Skating styles could include: freestyle, vert, street, cruising, or downhill.
What types of submissions are accepting in the culinary art category? Submissions here should include both a photo of the final culinary product and a video (two minutes or less) of the culinary artist in action. Any type of culinary creation will be accepted.
