I am aware of several Award Shows for Indie Gospel Artists Such as the Diamond Awards in Pigeon Forge, or the Agape King Country Awards and a few others.   Whatw I would like to do is get a Blog or a separate page where the award shows coming up are listed so that we all know when they will be, which artists were selected to be a nominee in which categories and so forth. It would be an interesting Caption Title for the Indie Newspaper/ 

For instance, Jim Sheldon had a nice showing in the Diamond Awards this year. Congratulations to Jim.  Pete Etterman is nominated in several categories in the Agape Country King Awards as well as Marsha Sue Mitchell, good luck in placing and possibily winning at the Agape King Country Awards (I hope I am sayng that right)

Also Marsha Sue Mitchell won big in Branson, MO  that is so very cool,, congratulations to you Marsha Sue! 

Then there is our own Annual Awards for the top songs of the year of which for 2011-2012 Season Gary Weldon Sr and "One Way" won the honors for the top song of the Year, while John and Rebecca Tatum won top Artist's of the year.  I have a lot on my plate rigtht  now searching out songs in the Indie Gospel Artists inventory of songs trying to find new songs to enter into the mix every week, but If you know of an event that specifically works in harmony with Gospel Music, especially with Independent Gospel music songwriters, please write to me at jban1946@bellsouth.net and let me know the particulars of the event and I will post it somewhere on JB's Indie Gospel Top Ten  Page!  The New Top Ten for the week of 10/08/12 will be posted this afternoon sometime... Don't forget The Radio Show this SAT at 1-1:30pm EST with Rachel Belman, the young lady from the Central Valley in California.      Blessings to you all!  James
