-----------September 21, 2005Dove Awards Dove Awards(1969-present) The Gospel Music Association (GMA) presents the Dove Awards annually. The awards were first presented in 1969, five years after the GMA was formed. The Dove Awards were established to recognize achievement in the gospel music industry and were patterned after the voting procedures used for the Grammys, which recognize all forms of music. For the first decade or so, Dove Award winners were typically traditional Southern Gospel artists. As Christian music styles began to broaden in the late 1970s and 1980s, the Dove Award categories also expanded to reflect the new musical trends. The album award was split into Southern Gospel, Inspirational, and Pop/Contemporary categories in 1976 and three more album categories for Black Gospel had been added by 1981.
Many Southern Gospel artists viewed the changes with growing resentment after 1980, often labeling the Dove Awards as “worldly.” However, the GMA has continued to include the Southern Gospel category. In 1988, a Country category was added to distinguish Country artists from Southern Gospel, and a Bluegrass category was established in 1998. posted by David Bruce Murray @ 10:11:00 AM
