The Covenant Awards are awarded to the Canadian gospel music industry by GMA Canada, the Gospel Music Association of Canada. The association is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the growth and ministry of Christian music in Canada. The ceremonies are held annually in cities across the nation.

History[edit]

GMA Canada created the Covenant Awards in 1974 in Ontario.[1] At the beginning, it was mostly for gospel music.[2] Over the years, all styles of Contemporary Christian music have been included.

In 2008 the association released a special three-CD collection to commemorate its 30th anniversary, the GMA Canada presents 30th Anniversary Collection.

Mission[edit]

GMA Canada works to raise the profile and interaction of Christian artists, songwriters, producers, promoters and others working in Christian music with media, retailers, distributors and church leadership.[3] GMA Canada exists to celebrate excellence in the Canadian Christian Music Industry and to encourage Christian recording artists and proponents in three key areas: Creative artistry, Christian community and Canadian uniqueness.

Creative Artistry

We exist to celebrate Canadian Christian artists in a multitude of genres, who are invested in creating music that is rooted in the Gospel, with the goal of reaching and influencing culture.

Christian Community

We exist to encourage everyone within our community to be actively connected to each other, as well as to their local churches.

Canadian Uniqueness

We exist to inspire a community that celebrates its 'Canadian-ness' and culture with pride and intention.

Awards[edit]

Covenant Awards are handed out in over 45 categories.[4] One of the most prestigious awards given is the GMA Canada Lifetime Achievement Award.
