The SVG Independence Bible Festival, which was started in 2009, consists of six rounds of Biblical Quizzes, Impromptu Speech and Bible Boxing. All questions will come from the Authorized King James version of the Bible.

The six rounds of Biblical quizzes will include: General Knowledge; Women in the Bible; An Encounter with Jesus; Name the Place; Finish this verse; Bible study.

The impromptu speech will be on topical social and religious issues, with participants having two minutes to make presentations. While churches will face off against each other quoting scripture verses in Bible Boxing.

The SVG Gospel Fest Committee says that the SVG Independence Bible Festival was developed to encourage persons to read and study the Word of God as recorded in the Bible for healthy spiritual development and effective Christian service as well as to increase the frequency, variety and quality of Christian activities in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The Finals of the Festival will take place on Sunday, October 16, at the Faith Temple Church when the top five churches will compete for various prizes and trophies.
