Since its inception in 2013, the K-LOVE Fan Awards has become a highly anticipated event that brings together artists and fans alike.
In 2018, K-LOVE partnered with TBN to broadcast the awards ceremony, expanding its reach and allowing a wider audience to join in the celebration. However, due to the unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 awards had to be postponed. In order to prioritize the safety and well-being of attendees, the awards weekend was rescheduled to take place on May 28-30, 2021.
This adjustment ensured that the event could be held in accordance with the necessary health guidelines and provided a platform to honor the remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions to Christian music, sports, books, and movies.
The K-LOVE Fan Awards continue to be a testament to the talent and impact of artists and professionals in the Christian entertainment industry.
