University Gospel Choir Of The Year (UGCY)

University Gospel Choir of the Year (UGCY) is an annual competition that aims to bring together talented individuals through music! Backed by the Mayor of London and the former Higher Education Minister- David Lammy and Inspired by the blockbuster classic ‘Sister Act 2 – Back In The Habit', UGCY is a voluntary organisation providing an unprecedented platform for University Gospel Choirs across the UK to develop and showcase their gospel musical abilities. It is an annual competition that aims to bring together talented and diverse individuals through music, encouraging them to strive for excellence and exceed their own limitations, whilst inspiring the young and old in all walks of life. UGCY provides an unprecedented platform for University Gospel Choirs across the UK and in Ghana (West Africa) to develop and showcase their musical abilities. Since its 2011 launch, UGCY has held seven UK annual competitions in prestigious London venues, a televised 6 part series for Viasat 1 TV of the maiden Ghanaian edition with the finals held in Ghana's National Theatre in 2016 and we have made numerous appearances in the media such as on the BBC & ITV, weddings and events all celebrating the talents of over 6000+ individuals from over 50 Universities across the UK and Ghana! UGCY prides itself in being able to offer opportunities and create platforms for talented individuals who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. UGCY has worked with ITV's the X-Factor, BGT and The Voice, have provided opportunities for gospel choirs at corporate events, on radio, TV and at various other events. Most recently in 2017, UGCY in partnership with our new talent agency - UV Talent, supplied choirs for ITV's The Voice, X Factor, BGT and Mariah Carey amongst many others! Our goal is to bring together individuals through their common love for performing, not only providing them with the platform and opportunity to showcase their talents but allowing them to compete on a national scale!
