All Contestants have three ways to win: 1) Jury Panel voting that consisted of famed jury members who voted on songs from the genres of music they were most known for. 2) Public Voting enabled each of the 11 category finalists to invite the public to vote on their songs or videos. 3) And the last way to win was through social media, in essence, to become the musician or video with most overall Facebook likes and reaches. Winners of each music category have the chance to win a wide variety of career empowering and furthering prizes.

GPSA Founder Steve Robertson stated, "The present day threat of world conflict and the refugee crisis are calling for musicians and video producers to rise up and inspire new visions for peace and caring for one another. We are profoundly honored to offer the GPSA contest to all musicians and video producers who want to make a difference in our world. At the same time we know our contest puts their caring creativity in front of major Grammy Winners, world-famed Music, TV, Film Executives and thought-leaders who will also be taking note of their important talents and contributions.

He continues, "In order to meet the demand of musicians and music video producers who wanted to be heard, make a difference and participate in our 2017 Global Peace Song Awards we decided to make our new and final submittal date June 1, 2017.
