A New Note Rises in DeFuniak Springs

This summer, DeFuniak Springs is striking a new chord with the launch of Faith Factor, a faith-based singing competition that promises more than applause. The grand prize? A $10,000 purse and a spotlight bright enough to change someone’s story.

The event is designed to showcase vocalists whose sound is rooted in faith — whether gospel-strong, country-sweet, or somewhere in between. Organizers say the competition will open the stage to solo performers ready to share both talent and testimony.

In a place like Walton County, music isn’t background noise. It’s front-porch storytelling. It’s Sunday morning harmony. It’s revival under warm lights. And now, it’s competition.

Audition details and performance rounds are expected to draw singers from across the region, turning DeFuniak Springs into a gathering place for voices that carry both conviction and craft.

For a town that already understands the power of community, Faith Factor feels less like an event and more like a moment. And we’ll be watching to see who steps up to the mic.
