First place winners will receive $500, second place winners, $200, and third place winners will win a private, vocal lesson with Ankh Ra.

Through his teaching and coaching style, Ankh Ra's appeal and influence on many people earned him the title, Vocal Guru. Donnie Klang, Solo Bad Boy Recording Artist declared to Ankh Ra: "Just know, that one year from now I will still be inspired by you. Just from what you've shown me in the last couple of months has helped me in many ways. Pushing me to my potential, your tough critiques have brought me up to a place where I have the extra energy to put more into my work." Willie Taylor from the new Sensational Group Day 26 exclaimed, "You have really made me a better singer, as well as a performer."
