You Are Not Alone Song Contest

Share your story through music.

The You Are Not Alone Song Contest is an opportunity for singers, songwriters, and musicians to create an original song inspired by hope, healing, connection, and the message that no one has to face life’s struggles alone.

Selected participants will have the opportunity to perform their song live during a special community event hosted by the You Are Not Alone campaign on March 30, 2027.

The evening will feature live music, community resources, food trucks, local partners, and meaningful conversations centered around support, awareness, and connection.

Whether you are an experienced musician or simply have a story to tell through music, we invite you to submit your original song and be part of something impactful.
