Celebrating America's 250th Birthday with 'America Sings the Anthem'
Great American Media, the company behind the widely beloved program "America Reads the Bible," is launching an exciting new initiative called "America Sings the Anthem" to commemorate the 250th birthday of the United States. This campaign invites individuals and groups from all walks of life to share their personal renditions of the National Anthem, enriching the sense of community and patriotism that binds the nation together.
A Call to Voices Across the Nation
In a heartfelt plea, Great American Media is calling upon Americans to contribute their voices to this national tribute. Bill Abbott, the President and CEO, expressed the importance of the National Anthem not only as a song but as a symbol of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for the freedoms enjoyed by all. Bill explained, "For many families, the National Anthem isn’t merely a melody; it signifies memory, sacrifice, and a cherished sense of freedom that we all share. This project is not only about participation; it's about acknowledging our history and celebrating our collective identity."
The submissions for "America Sings the Anthem" will remain open until May 31, 2026. Starting on July 4 of the same year, selected performances will be showcased through Great American Media's various platforms, marking a national spotlight on these heartfelt expressions from across the country. From students and choir groups to families and entire communities, the initiative aims to capture a diverse array of voices united in gratitude, pride, and love for the nation.
How to Get Involved
Anyone interested in participating can record their rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a concise format of up to 90 seconds. These performances can be filmed anytime and anywhere—be it at home, school, or community gatherings. Participants then need to fill out a submission form and upload their videos to the designated platform, pureflix.com/anthem.
Key dates for the initiative are as follows:
- - Submissions Open: April 9 – May 25, 2026
- - Review Process: May 26 – June 14, 2026
- - Featured Voices Announced: Beginning July 4, 2026
Honoring Tradition and Unity
In addition to this exciting project, Great American Media will continue to honor tradition by broadcasting the National Anthem every day at 6:00 AM on Great American Family Network. This initiative serves as a beautiful way to open the broadcast day, promoting a moment of reflection and unity every morning for viewers.
The "America Sings the Anthem" initiative is more than a performance; it represents Great American Media's ongoing mission to elevate content that celebrates faith, family, and national pride. With a portfolio of networks that embodies these values, including Great American Family and the faith-driven streaming service Pure Flix, Great American Media strives to be a platform where families can engage with meaningful and uplifting programs.
As America approaches a historic milestone, Great American Media encourages everyone to lift their voices and join in a chorus of patriotic spirit. This is a moment for every citizen, of all ages, to contribute to the unfolding narrative of America by sharing their renditions of the National Anthem, celebrating a rich legacy of freedom, unity, and hope for the future.
