Sterling Gospel Award 2020 nominees are out

The 2020 Sterling Gospel Music Awards show is on track for its biggest year yet as announced by event organiser Basillia Barnaby-Cuff during the recent media launch at the R Hotel in Kingston.

The two day gala event to celebrate the Gospel music industry will take place at the Courtleigh Auditorium beginning on March 13 with the All White Nominees & Sponsors Lyme. March 14 will see the Red Carpet and Awards Ceremony, this year featuring the theme African Pride.

A secondary theme, BGVs In Action, throws the focus on the background vocalists in the business. The Sterling Gospel Music Awards will then honour the winners of each of its eighteen categories and the KFC-sponsored Legends Award.
