Each fan is urged to invite as many people as possible and to name the city that they reside in. The winner of the contest will be shooting a video announcing their city and the following cities, that have been picked to be visited by Hillsong UNITED on tour.

With their newest album, "ZION" being released on Feb. 26 of this year, the bands gospel music has been reaching listeners ears in the thousands.
