While there will be some live award presentations, the show is designed to be a celebration of the current state of Christian music, complete with mash-up medleys, exclusive collaborations and more.
“We have always dreamed of an actual awards show for this event, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with JUCE TV for an experience unlike anything the industry has seen before,” said NewReleaseToday President and Founder, Kevin McNeese. “The programming and focus of this show will show once again why the WE LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC AWARDS is different and groundbreaking.”

“We are amazed at how the fans have responded this year, “ McNeese added. “We see it both as a validation of the concept of the WE LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC AWARDS, and as a testament to artists’ ability to rally their enthusiastic fanbases. We’re humbled and heartened that artists and fans have participated at such a high level.”
