Thanks for all the interest. I was pretty excited.
The award is voted on by all members of the Christian Country Music Association. The first elimination level is just a write in; whomever you would like to see win. then it goes to top ten, then to top 5, then to the winnner is chosen from the top 5. I've been a member for 3 years, so I've been blessed to come up pretty quickly in the organization.
The show was telecast on GAC. Great American Country. Sadly, mine, and 5 other awards, was cut from the show in the interest of more high profile artists such as Oak Ridge Boys, Ricochet, Josh Turner, Restless Heart, and others.
This is standard procedure with many awards shows, but on all other shows, awards not given during the telecast are still given honorable mention sometime during the show. They will name the award, and show the picture of the artist who won it. The CCMA awards neglected to do this though. It was a little bit of a blow.
I am starting a little bit of a campaign to suggest to them that if they do have to cut awards, at least the winners are given honorable mention. As it is, nominees of awards who didn't win got more exposure than winners of awards that were cut.
If you'd like to help me in this, send an email to

I'm not trying to start anything malicious, but i would like them to be made aware of their oversight. If you feel like helping, that'd be great, and thanks.
