A Song Of Praise (ASOP) Music Festival has been providing aspiring and professional songwriters an avenue to follow their passion of praising God through music for eight years now.
Since its kickoff last 2011, praise songs have developed for the last eight years with its growing popularity, changing style and genres serving the taste of the millennials through this weekly songwriting contest of UNTV.
After 12 months of thorough competition, ASOP is set to stage its Grand Finals Night at the New Frontier Theater, Araneta City, Cubao, Quezon City on November 10, 2019, Sunday, 7 p.m.
Twelve masterpieces will vie for the much-coveted “Song of the Year” title with P800,000.00 (tax-free) cash prize. As announced by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International, Inc. (BMPI) President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kuya Daniel Razon in last year’s finals night, cash prizes will increase a hundred thousand every year. Cash prizes of P50,000.00 each are up for grabs for two special awards, “Best Interpreter” and “People’s Choice” and P200,000 for “Bro. Eli Soriano’s (BES) Choice” award.
