The Gospel Music Association (GMA) has revealed the nominees for the 55th Annual GMA Dove Awards. GMA President Jackie Patillo said, “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.”

The theme for the 55th Annual GMA Dove Awards is "Unite the Song." “Unite the song is a heart cry for God’s people to come together in unity,” says host, Tauren Wells. “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.”

Nominees are voted on by the GMA professional membership and this year’s nominees were chosen from over 2,500 submitted entries. Final round voting August 1st through August 8th, 2024.

About Randi Myles:

I am a child of God that has a lot to say.

Here you will find conversations with artists, authors, speakers, and teachers within the faith-based community. Also, my journey has been colorful, rich, and sometimes really hard so, I look for answers and respite through these posts. My mom wanted me to write a book and I'm working on that, so bear with me as I fumble my way through.

I am working on balancing my extremely fun work life with my personal life that is filled with challenges these days. I know that God will see me to victory so... welcome to my life.
