The Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards were created in 1969 by the Gospel Music Association to honor the outstanding achievements in Christian music. The awards, representing a wide variety of musical styles, including metal, pop, rock, rap & hip hop, country, gospel, and praise & worship, are presented annually in Nashville, Tennessee. From 2004-2006, they were officially called the GMA Music Awards, but have since returned to the better known title of Dove Awards. Each awards show features performances by a number of the industry’s newest and most successful artists.

Until 1978, the GMA Dove Awards were held in September, during the National Quartet Convention.
