What is the history of the Gospel Music Awards?
The Gospel Music Awards are an annual awards show that honors artists from all genres of gospel music. It was established in 1969 by the Gospel Music Association, and the first awards show was held in 1971. The awards show is usually held in Nashville, Tennessee, and is broadcast on television.
How have they changed over the years?
The Gospel music awards have been held annually since 1969, when they were created by the Gospel Music Association (GMA) to recognize achievement in the gospel music industry. Over the years, the awards have evolved to reflect the changing landscape of gospel music, with new categories being added and old ones discontinued.
One of the most significant changes came in 2014, when the GMA revamped its eligibility criteria in order to better reflect the diversity of gospel music. Under the new rules, any artist whose album or song has been played on a gospel radio station or designated gospel streaming service within the eligibility period is eligible for an award, regardless of whether they identify as a Christian artist or not. This change has led to a more inclusive and representative list of nominees in recent years.
Looking back over the history of the Gospel Music Awards, it is clear that they have always been about celebrating excellence in gospel music, and that this goal has remained unchanged even as the awards themselves have undergone some changes.
