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.
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.
