The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, Gospel Music Channel (GMC) and FameCast Media educating people about stroke through an online choir competition as part of the Power to End Stroke campaign.
The three-month online contest, running now through April 6th, encourages choirs to raise their voices and inspire others by submitting a short video or audio file featuring their special talent.

To compete for the battle of the bands, choirs should visit the Most Powerful Voices Contest Web page and upload a performance video or mp3 of their performance.
Fans can then visit that page to find, listen to and vote for their favorite choirs.
Fan voting will help determine which choirs will move on in the online contest. Public voting runs thru March 20. From there, a panel of judges will choose the top 20 choirs (ten small and ten large) to advance to the final round March 21 thru March 27. Fans will once again weigh in and vote for their favorite choirs.
The field will be narrowed down to two winners, one small and one large choir. Winners will be notified on April 6.
The winning choirs will perform at the American Stroke Association’s Power Awards Show on May 7 in New York City. The association hosts the annual event to honor people who increase stroke awareness among African Americans.
Each winning choir will also win $5,000 in keyboards and recording gear from Roland Corporation, U.S. In addition, one of the two choirs will be chosen by EMI Gospel as a grand prize winner of the online contest and will receive a professional coaching session from national EMI Gospel artist – Myron Butler.
