All the Winners & Nominees for the 55th Annual Dove Awards

The Dove Awards isn’t “the Christian Grammy’s” it’s an annual opportunity promote and celebrate the Gospel through music.

The 55th Annual Dove Awards will be on October 1st, 2024 at the Allen Arena in Nashville, TN. This year you can experience Nashville and the Dove Awards in person at the Music City Fan Experience weekend from September 29th-October 2, 2024. To get tickets, visit here. If you can’t make it to music city, don’t worry! TBN and TBN+ will air the Dove Awards on Friday, October 4th, at 8pm and 10pm ET.

Brandon Lake takes the lead with sixteen nominations including Artist of the Year. Leading the female nominees with five nominations each are the powerful voices of CeCeWinans and Naomi Raine.

Here’s what Tauren Wells, the host of the 55th Annual GMA Dove Awards, had to say about this year’s theme “Unite The Song.”

“Unite the song is a heart cry for God’s people to come together in unity… We get to come together out of our individual corners, from each different stream within the church, to unite around this one song, holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty.” – Tauren Wells

GMA President Jackie Patillo shared:

“I love this moment each year when we get to announce our nominees. The Dove Awards are about spreading the message in our music with the world and honoring the work of the amazing artists, songwriters, producers, and film & TV creators in our great community. I’m thrilled for this year’s nominees and can’t wait to celebrate in October.” | Jackie Patillo
