The nominees are in, and now it’s time for you — the fans — to cast your ballots in support of your favorite artists, authors, actors and podcast hosts! Finalists have been unveiled across 10 categories ahead of the 2023 K-LOVE Fan Awards, set to celebrate a decade (and counting!) of the premier fan-voted award show in Christian entertainment on May 28, 2023, at Nashville’s historic Grand Ole Opry House.
Phil Wickham leads this year’s nominations with five nods, including his first Artist of the Year recognition. Fellow inaugural Artist of the Year honoree Brandon Lake follows close behind Wickham with four nominations. Meanwhile, first-time K-LOVE Fan Award nominees include Ben Fuller, Blessing Offor, Brooke Ligertwood, Cody Carnes, Consumed by Fire, David Leonard, Jason Crabb, and Rachael Lampa.
The new Podcast Impact category, introduced in 2022, returns for a second year, serving up eight nominees. Moreover, fans can once again vote for their favorite film or television series and book in additional faith-based brackets. While not a voting-eligible category, a Sports Impact recipient will also be honored at this year’s ceremony.
New for 2023, every vote will help spread the Gospel around the world. Thanks to a partnership with Open Eyes, every 100,000 votes unlock a new level of resources, supplies and transportation that will be dispatched specifically in Nepal and Mexico to the organization’s “mobile messengers,” who are equipped and sent to remote villages to tell others about the life-saving hope of Jesus.
The 2023 K-LOVE Fan Awards is the culmination of an entire weekend of fan-centric experiences taking place in Nashville, Tenn., May 26-28, 2023.
Hosted by CAIN, the 10th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards will air exclusively on TBN Friday, June 2, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT.
Winners are determined solely by fans. Cast your vote now at klovefanawards.com.
