Crown Gospel Awards Full Nominee List
Crown Gospel Awards Full Nominee List – The awards ceremony will be held at Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa, on 24 November.
There have been more than 635 of entries flooded World Gospel Powerhouse offices for the past two months! Judges will commence with the first leg of selection this week, going through all received entries.
Evidence shows that entries leading the pack are Best Gospel Newcomer (that normally the case every year) and Best Traditional Gospel, with 19 and 20 entries respectively.
The Best Collaboration category, also received a wave of entries this year, more than it has in the previous years. This is due to the growing trend of artists working together and supporting each other’s projects. Last year, this category was won by Gospel musicians Dumi Mkokstad and Thina Zungu with Fear Not. The World Gospel Powerhouse is in full support of this move!
