As voting kicks off for the 13th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards, Phil Wickham leads artist nominations with a total of four nods, including Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “What An Awesome God” and Worship Song of the Year for “Homesick For Heaven.” Wickham previously won his first, and only, K-LOVE Fan Award in 2023 in the Book Impact category, recognizing his debut devotional, “On Our Knees: 40 Days to Living Boldly in Prayer.”
Wickham joins a host of veteran acts who earned numerous K-LOVE Fan Awards nominations this year, including Jeremy Camp, Lauren Daigle, Elevation Worship, Brandon Lake and MercyMe — all of whom garnered three nods each. Also of note, newcomers Emerson Day, Jamie MacDonald and Josiah Queen tallied a trio of nominations, respectively. Additionally, all three emerging artists landed a Song of the Year entry, and MacDonald and Queen both garnered first-time Artist of the Year slots.
Daigle, a nine-time K-LOVE Fan Award winner; and author, speaker and podcast host Sadie Robertson Huff, a two-time Podcast Impact champion, are set to host the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards scheduled to take place at Nashville’s historic Grand Ole Opry House Sunday, May 24, 2026.
Fans can vote for their favorites now through May 22, 2026, when the 13th installment of the yearly K-LOVE Fan Awards Weekend launches in Nashville, Tennessee. Boasting three days of fan-centric activities, the event offers attendees the opportunity to engage with artists up close via concerts, showcases, meet and greets, exclusive album previews, live interviews and more ahead of the star-studded awards show.
Seven out of 11 voting categories are dedicated to music. However, an additional four brackets recognize the best in faith-based television and streaming, movies, podcasts and books. Moreover, while not a voting-eligible category, a Sports Impact recipient will also be announced during the ceremony.
The 13th annual K-LOVE Fan Awards will air exclusively on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) Friday, May 29, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. EST.
Winners are determined solely by fans. Cast your vote now at klovefanawards.com.
