The GINA Contest is held in honor of singer/songwriter Gina Bos who vanished after a performance in Lincoln, NE-October 17, 2000. The GINA Singer/Songwriter Contest Finale is held in May during National Missing Children's Month in an effort to gain media attention for missing children. Each finalist presents the story of a missing child during our finale web cast. Singer/Songwriter's not only have a chance to showcase their music and win valuable prizes, but they have a hand in helping to bring a missing child home. This contest along with GINA's other programs have helped to bring over 350 people profiled by GINA Artists home.  Click the graphic on the upper right to read the Press Release.
