Dove Awards to celebrate church choirs

Dove Awards to celebrate church choirs

The Gospel Music Association is partnering with  Christian Copyright Licensing International and PraiseHymn Sound Tracks to provide a chance for churches of all denominations and cultures to send in a version of their church choir singing “How Great Is Our God,” the no. 1 church song in the nation the past several years.  Selected choir entries will then be compiled into a collage of the song to be presented throughout The 42nd Annual GMA Dove Awards broadcast on April 24, 2011 on GMC at 7:00p.m. EST. Choir submissions will also enter a random drawing for three iPads and hundreds of dollars worth of iTunes gift cards.  The Campaign, will hand out the awards on Wednesday, April 20th at the historic Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.  Tickets for the 42nd Annual Dove Awards are available at www.ticketmaster.com or at the Fox Theatre’s box office.

Howard Rachinski, President/CEO of CCLI and GMA Board member says, “It is a real privilege for CCLI to be partnering with the GMA in the Dove Awards celebration of church choirs.  This exciting campaign is a befitting tribute to our rich heritage of song, as evidenced in hundreds of thousands of churches every week across our nation.
Jackie Pattilo, GMA Board member says, “The heart and soul of the Gospel music industry is directly rooted in, and derived from, the songs that are birthed in our churches.  We are delighted to express our appreciation to churches everywhere with this special celebration.”
The landing page for church choirs to submit their video is www.cclitv.com/dove. Submissions must be made by March 21st.

About the Fox Theatre:
The historic Fox Theatre is one of Atlanta’s premiere venues for live entertainment. The Fox’s 4,678 seat theatre is booked more than 300 performances a year ranging from Broadway to rock to comedy to movies. In December 2009, Billboard Magazine ranked the Fox Theatre in Atlanta as "The #1 non-residency venue worldwide for the decade (5,000 seats or less)."
The Fox Theatre is located on Peachtree Street in the middle of the city. Not only is it on the National Historic Register, but it is one of the most beloved landmarks in the city because it is a real memory maker for the citizens of Atlanta. They may have come here to see their first performance or Broadway show; they had their first date here, and maybe even had their first kiss in the balcony. Our ballrooms are spectacular and have hosted everything from Sweet 16s to weddings and corporate events.
