The annual Church Music Submission was established to encourage the development of musical talent and bring new musical works to light. We sincerely thank all who have submitted music over the years. Your contributions have blessed members of the Church worldwide and influenced hymn and song selections for the hymnbook.
To support ongoing hymnbook efforts, submissions will be temporarily paused starting November 2, 2025. Submissions are expected to reopen in the future, and updates will be shared when timing allows.
Awarded submissions that are not yet in the online music library are in our publication process and will be added as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience as these works are prepared for release.
In the meantime, updates to the casting page—including requests for new music and arrangements—will be shared through an email list. Click here to be added and receive notifications when new opportunities become available.
*For those who submitted music for the 2025 Church Music Submission, results will be shared by March 1, 2026.
The new music submission period for the revisions is now closed. Click here for updates on the Hymns and Children’s Songbook revisions.
