The Covenant Awards are awarded annually by GMA Canada. The association is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the growth and ministry of Christian music arts in Canada. To this end, GMA Canada presents the annual Covenant Awards, Canada's national awards for the Canadian Gospel Music industry. The ceremonies are held annually in cities across Canada.
GMA Canada created Covenant Awards in 1974 in Ontario. At the beginning, it was mostly for gospel music. Over the years, all styles of Contemporary Christian music have been included.
In 2008 the association released a special three-CD collection to commemorate its 30th anniversary, the GMA Canada presents 30th Anniversary Collection.
GMA Canada works to raise the profile and interaction of Christian artists, songwriters, producers, promoters and others working in Christian music with media, retailers, distributors and church leadership. GMA Canada has committed itself to nurturing and developing its members through educational programs as well as celebrating outstanding achievements and standards of excellence in all areas and genres of Canadian Gospel music.
Covenant Awards are handed out in over 45 categories. One of the most prestigious awards given is the GMA Canada Lifetime Achievement Award.
