Mandisa, Natalie Grant, Plumb, Laura Story and Audrey Assad up for 'Female Artist of the Year' for 2014 We Love Christian Music Awards

The 2014 We Love Christian Music Awards are coming up and they have announced the five nominees for 'Female Artist of the Year'.

The artists up for the award are Mandisa, Natalie Grant, Plumb, Laura Story and Audrey Assad. All voting takes place online, to vote go here NewReleaseTuesday.com's Facebook page.

Voting for the 2014 WE LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC AWARDS runs from Friday, Nov. 1, 2013, to Friday, Dec. 13, 2013. Winners are chosen by a combination of the public vote as well as the WE LOVE Committee vote. 

Nominees in each category were determined by the editorial staff of NewReleaseTuesday.com. As NRT is the largest, industry-leading Christian music site, we trusted our staff's widespread knowledge of the industry and individual projects to arrive at the best five nominees in each category.

An awards show for the digital age, the WE LOVE CHRISTIAN MUSIC AWARDS is leading the way in making full use of the online tools available, including social media, live awards show simulcasts from major Christian music events, digital video, online voting and more. It's powered by the largest online community of Christian music enthusiasts,NewReleaseTuesday.com, and so it carries a considerable knowledge and fan base already accustomed to the digital frontier.

Our awards aren't like awards at other shows, either. We wanted to turn the awards show on its head, so while we do have the expected general categories like Group of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year, we have some categories that just aren't done like EP of the Year, The Relaunch Award (for best comeback or band lineup change), and The Chorus (Best Church-Based Worship Group), among others.
