In 2024, Youth Swagger launched the PUSH Awards—a visionary platform to support up-and-coming gospel artists who need financial and mentorship support to take their ministry to the next level. The inaugural winner, Victor Edet, received ₦1,000,000 and has since become a recognized voice in the city of Calabar and beyond.
In 2025, the second edition of the PUSH Awards offered ₦1.5 million, as the vision continues to grow. These awards are not just about recognition—they’re about real investment into the future of gospel music and ministry.
Sports, Health and Community Impacts
In 2024, we also added a new dimension to our expression—the Youth Swagger Football Battle, where youth teams compete for prizes and community pride. The maiden edition in 2025 offered ₦1 million to the winner, ₦500,000 to the first runner-up, and ₦300,000 to the second runner-up. Through this, we preach Christ by fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, and purpose.
And it doesn’t stop there. Youth Swagger week includes free medical outreach:
These medical outreaches have become a vital arm of our mission—serving both spiritual and physical needs.
Celebrating Heroes — Icon Awards
In 2024, Youth Swagger introduced the Icon Awards, a moment dedicated to honoring individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the church, the community, and the Swagger movement. Honorees have included Mrs. Leah Limoke (CEO of Lavin), Victor Edet, and His Excellency, the Governor of Cross River State, among others.
These awards are more than ceremonial—they are a public acknowledgment of kingdom excellence in leadership, creativity, and service.
