PRAISE PICNIC PERFORMER FORM

Thank you for your interest in being part of Praise Picnic.

Praise Picnic is a Christ-centered community event bringing people together for a day of worship, music, fellowship, creativity, and community along the Hudson River. We're looking for Christian artists, worship teams, DJs, spoken word artists, dance ministries, choirs, musicians, and other faith-based creatives who are passionate about using their gifts to glorify God and encourage others.

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

Praise Picnic is currently a volunteer-based opportunity. Selected participants will not receive financial compensation for their participation. As a first-year event, our focus is on building something that honors God while creating meaningful opportunities for Christian creatives and ministries to connect with the community.

While this is not a paid engagement, selected participants may benefit from:

Exposure to a new audience
Ministry and brand awareness
Professional photo and video content
Social media promotion
Networking opportunities with churches, ministries, and other Christian creatives
Building new relationships within the Christian community
Being part of a growing movement that we believe will continue to expand in future years

STEWARDSHIP & EXCELLENCE

We believe excellence honors God. Because stage time and program space are limited, our team will be highly selective when reviewing submissions. We are committed to stewarding every opportunity, resource, and platform God has entrusted to us.

Submissions will be evaluated based on:

Alignment with the mission of Praise Picnic
Quality and excellence
Ministry impact
Audience fit
Event programming needs
Professionalism and preparedness

Please understand that not being selected is not a reflection of your talent, calling, or ministry. It simply means we may not have the appropriate opportunity available this year.

Submitting this form does not guarantee participation.
