TheOverflow, the first and only unlimited, on-demand Christian and Gospel music streaming service, recently announced TheOverflow Fans Favorite Artist Award, a special accolade that will be presented at the 46th Annual GMA Dove Awards to the artist with the most "favorites" within TheOverflow app. In addition, TheOverflow will serve as the official music streaming service for this year's Dove Awards.

For the first time, fans can cast their vote for TheOverflow Fans Favorite Artist Award through "favoriting" the artist(s) of their choice by clicking the blue star icon anywhere next to the artist's name within TheOverflow app. Voting is open now through Oct. 12. For those who are not already members of the streaming service, a free seven-day trial is available at www.TheOverflow.com, where users can download the app to vote for their preferred artist. The winner of the inaugural TheOverflow Fans Favorite Artist Award will be announced during the Dove Awards pre-show on Oct. 13. Fans can watch the entire pre-telecast live at www.DoveAwards.com.

"As a fan of Christian music and a fan of the Dove Awards, I'm honored to be investing in rewarding excellence in Christian music as the official music streaming service for this year's Dove Awards," says TheOverflow CEO Stephen Relph. "I'm also over the moon excited that for the first time ever, TheOverflow's user base will have their votes decide who wins TheOverflow Fans Favorite Artist Award. Fan participation has proven to be a compelling way to engage music fans, and we're proud to be the first to bring this innovation to the prestigious Dove Awards."
