Kingdom Bound Now Accepting Talent Search Applications

Buffalo, N.Y. (March 1, 2006)—Kingdom Bound Ministries is now
accepting applications for its 2006 International Talent Search.
Aspiring Christian singers and/or musicians who would like to win the
opportunity to perform live at Kingdom Bound Christian music
festival, to be held August 6-9, 2006, at Six Flags Darien Lake
amusement park and camping resort in Darien Center, New York, have
the opportunity to be considered for this prestigious honor. A
downloadable application for the talent search is available at
www.kingdombound.org.

Applications are due by April 30, 2006. A panel of industry experts
will choose selected applicants, who will then have one of their
songs (must be original material) placed on-line during the month of
May at www.kingdombound.org, and Kingdom Bound fans will vote for
their favorite song. The top two with the most votes will be chosen
as winners. They will enjoy the exciting opportunity of performing at
the festival's Park Stage on Sunday, August 6, 2006.

"The talent search is a great way for independent singers and bands
to expose their music and ministries to new audiences," says Mark
Weber, of ChristianMusicMonthly.com. "Kingdom Bound is an established
and respected organization, and the talent search is a way for them
to help give up-and-coming singers and bands great exposure to tens
of thousands of Christian music fans."

Kingdom Bound, one of North America's largest and longest-running
festivals, features over 40 pop, rock and praise & worship artists,
including headliners Newsboys, Third Day, Casting Crowns, and MercyMe
("I Can Only Imagine," "Here With Me"), as well as several speakers,
including Dr. Kevin Leman and Pam Stenzel, among its packed line-up.

Kingdom Bound tickets are surprisingly affordable and include
admission to amusement park rides, like the giant Ferris wheel and
the Superman: Ride Of Steel coaster. Tickets can be charged by phone
at 716-633-1117 or 1-800-461-4485, Monday through Friday 10-5pm EST.
