Dove Awards To Be Held Oct. 15 at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena
Christian music’s Dove Awards will return to Nashville after taking place for two years in Atlanta. The Dove Awards will take place at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena on Oct. 15.
A move to presenting in the fall marks a large shift for the awards show, one that should help build awareness of new releases going into the all-important holiday season. Jackie Patillo, executive director of the Gospel Music Association, told AccessAtlanta that an important factor in the decision to move the awards show back to Nashville is that the bulk of the Christian music industry is still based in Music City. “It was time to come home,” Patillo said.
Dove Award nominees will be announced on Aug. 22. For the first time, the awards will include a feature film category to recognize the impact of inspirational movies within the entertainment community.
GMC TV will air the awards show.
