Award Selection

The winners of the awards are selected by subscribers of the Singing News Magazine, a monthly magazine devoted to this particular genre of music. Generally the selection is made via a nomination ballot, a top ten ballot and then a top five ballot with the group/person with the most votes winning.

History

The awards were started by the Singing News Magazine and were first awarded in 1970. Within a few years, these awards were handed out at the National Quartet Convention and were recognized as the pre-eminent awards in the Southern Gospel genre.
