Artist Showcase Series
Sponsored by Alchemy Sound Studios
How it Works
Artists are invited to submit video performances on Facebook or Instagram to be considered for inclusion
in the Artist Showcase Series. At the end of each series, an "Artist Selection Committee" from the local Tallahassee
worship community, along with the engineers and producers from Alchemy Sound Studios, will select
two artists or groups who stand out above the rest to receive complimentary studio time
by Alchemy Sound Studios.
Submissions are shared publicly and may be supported by each artist’s community through engagement such as likes, comments and shares. Each month, the group receiving the most engagement (likes) on Instagram and the group receiving the most engagement (likes) on Facebook will be selected as a monthly semi-finalist.
To help ensure that each stage of the showcase series reflects a broad representation of worship groups in our community, if fewer than six total video submissions are received across Facebook and Instagram during a given month, that month’s submissions will remain eligible and continue accumulating engagement into the following month until a minimum of six submissions has been reached. Once at least six eligible submissions have been received, monthly selections will proceed as outlined below. We want to ensure that each round of the showcase represents a meaningful cross-section of worship groups from across our region.
Engagement Periods
Our first annual showcase series starts on April 1st, 2026 and will continue for 4 months or “Engagement Periods” resulting in a total of eight semi finalists. Once eight semi-finalist have been selected, the Artist Selection Committee will review the semi-finalist and select two winners. First place will receive 10 hours of free studio time and second place will receive 5 hours.
Elgibility
In the spirit of "Worship Together Tallahassee" groups must be faith based in nature.
All faiths and denominations are encouraged to participate. Both covers and original music are acceptable and groups can consist of instrumentalists and Vocalists
or Vocalists only.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be approximately 3–6 minutes in length and consist of one song. Submissions can be filmed on any device with no professional equipment required, however, using a stereo mix from your front of house system will help listeners hear individual instruments and voices more clearly, if that option is available. Performances should represent a live worship setting as opposed to a studio production. You do not need to necessarily be performing in front of a congregation, but it should be a live performance by your group members.
How to Submit
Video should be posted to Instagram or Facebook on the Worship Together Tallahassee page. In order to be entered in the Artist Showcase Series you will need to tag Alchemy Sound Studios on Facebook or alchemy_sound_studios_usa on Instagram. Videos can be posted to any Instagram or Facebook account, but the account must be public. Captions should also include the groups name, city, song performed and any other relevant information.
Rules
Only engagement on the ORIGINAL POST will be counted towards voting. Groups are encouraged to share their original post widely and direct supporters to the
original post to “cast their vote“ via engagement/likes.
There is no limit to how many entries a group can submit, but once a group becomes a semi-finalist, they may not win a second spot as a semi-finalist. For example, a semi-finalist announced in May cannot be a semi-finalist again in June, July, etc.
If a group submits an entry and does not win a semi-finalist position, they may submit the same exact video again in following months. HOWEVER, it will need to be a new post within the new time period. For example, if a group submits a video in May and does not win a semi-finalist position, they MUST repost their video in June and start accumulating engagement again.
Each month’s entries will begin on the first of the month, and likes will be counted at 11:00 PM on the last day of the month. As mentioned above if fewer than six total video submissions are received across Facebook and Instagram during a given month, that month’s submissions will remain eligible and continue accumulating engagement into the following month until a minimum of six submissions has been reached.
Platform Limitation
If a group receives the most votes on Facebook and Instagram for the month, they will only be awarded one semi-finalist position. The second position will be awarded to the next most liked video, either on Instagram or Facebook.
Content Usage and Permissions
By submitting, artists and groups grant Alchemy Sound Studios permission to repost and promote their content while retaining full ownership of their original material.
Fairness, Integrity, and Respect
Artificial engagement (buying likes, follows or ‘bots’) will result in disqualification. Any evidence of foul play
such as disrespect toward another group will result in disqualification. Lip syncing, and/or produced
audio over false visuals will result in disqualification
