This is the 11th year that The Gift™ Youth Singing Competition is seeking singers who are looking for a music or performing arts career. You must be between the ages of 12 and 16 and from the greater Atlanta area to compete. The winners will be competing to make their dreams come true and for a chance to win more than $20,000 in cash and prizes.


There will be four open call auditions held at various McDonald’s restaurants April 5, 12 and 26. Three finalists from each location will be selected by a panel of judges, comprised of representatives from the music and entertainment community, to compete at a final competition this summer. Only the first 250 contestants with proper documentation will be allowed to audition at each open call audition.


“Giving one-of-a-kind opportunities that allow our talented youth to reach for their dreams is a gift to us all,” said J.M. Owens, president of the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operators Association. “The Atlanta area McDonald’s owners are wholly dedicated to fostering positive self-esteem and bolstering inspiration among Atlanta’s young people in an effort to encourage greatness for the next generation of our city.”
