History

On February 13, 2013, K-Love held a press conference at the Ryman Auditorium Nashville, Tennessee, where they announced the inaugural K-Love Fan Awards, being the first fan-voted awards show for Christian music history, with artists such as TobyMac, Jeremy Camp, Francesca Battistelli in attendance.[3] The voting process was set to begin in May, with the awards show where the winners would be announced set to be held on June 1, 2013,[4] at the Ryman Auditorium and with hosting being done by Phil, Kay, Jase, and Missy Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame.[5] K-Love had chosen Nashville as the host city for the award show because it is "home to the faith-based entertainment industry."[6] On May 1, 2013, K-Love announced the nominees and performers for the awards ceremony, indicating that the nominees had been selected on the basis of airplay, spins, impact and overall performance.[7] The awards ceremony was successfully held, drawing to a close on June 2, 2013.[8] [9]

In January 2016, K-Love opened official nominee selection to the fans for the first time, by way of online voting, in the lead-up to the 2016 K-Love Fan Awards.[10] [11] In February 2016, The K-Love Fan Awards were nominated by the Midsouth Emmy Awards in the Special Event Coverage, Lighting, and Set Design at the 30th Midsouth Emmy Awards.[12] The K-Love Fan Awards won the Midsouth Emmy Awards for Lighting and Set Design.[13]

In April 2018, K-Love announced that they had entered into a new partnership with TBN to televise the awards,[14] beginning with the 2018 awards ceremony which was set to be broadcast by the network on May 31, 2018.[15]

In April 2020, K-Love postponed the 2020 K-Love Fan Awards in abiding with social distancing regulations introduced in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, announced that the awards weekend would return May 28 through 30, 2021.[16]
