The nominees for the 54th Annual GMA Dove Awards are here!
The Gospel Music Association broadcasted an artist-hosted livestream on their YouTube channel Wednesday morning, featuring JJ Hairston, Jason Crabb, Jordan Felix, Danny Gokey, and Natalie Grant.
In a press release, GMA President Jackie Patillo announced the theme for this year’s ceremony, Joyful Echo.
“Like it says in Isaiah 42:12 from The Message, ‘Make God’s glory resound, echo His praises from coast to coast,’” Patillo says. “We expect and believe this year’s show will be a joyful echo of the love of Jesus.”
This year’s nominees definitely brought joyful noise over the past year. Brandon Lake has the most nominations this year with 11. Other top nominees include Kirk Franklin with six nominations, along with Tasha Cobbs Leonard and Naomi Raine, who each received three nominations.
The 54th Dove Awards will be held on October 17th and will air exclusively on TBN and the TBN app on October 20th at 8:00 pm EST.
