Christway Rap Contest Returns for Year 10
The Christway Rap Contest returns for its 10th year, giving Christian hip-hop artists an opportunity to showcase their talent and perform on a major stage. In partnership with SoCal Revival Fest, this year’s contest continues a growing tradition of highlighting faith-centered hip-hop and discovering new artists who are using their voices to represent Christ through music.
Artists who enter the contest will compete for a chance to become one of the Top 10 finalists. Finalists will perform live at SoCal Revival Fest on June 13, 2026, at Pearson Park Amphitheater in Anaheim, California. In addition to performing at the festival, selected artists will also secure a spot in an official Christway Cypher and have the opportunity to open the event in front of the festival audience.
Entering the contest is simple. Artists can download a beat from the Christway beat store, record their performance, and post their video submission online using the hashtag #CRCI0. Participants must also follow the official Christway and SoCal Revival Fest social media pages. Submissions remain open until April 30, 2026, and finalists will be announced on May 1, 2026.
The Christway Rap Contest has become a platform for independent Christian artists across the country to gain exposure, connect with other creatives, and step into new opportunities within the Christian hip-hop community.
As the contest celebrates its tenth year, Christway continues its mission of transforming culture for Christ by creating spaces where faith and hip-hop culture intersect.
