Oasis Awards Calls for General Public to Nominate

|TOP|The Oasis Awards, set to take place 27 July at the Hackney Empire, will call for the general public to nominate church leaders, social projects and gospel artists from the African and Caribbean community.

The Awards will recognise the achievements of leading artists in the UK and International gospel music industry as well as highlight the contributions black churches have made to local communities and wider British society.

The Oasis Awards will be giving away a total of 34 awards in a range of categories. These categories will include: Minister of the Year, Church/Ministry of the Year, Best Album - Best Gospel Song - Best Praise and Worship Song - Best Reggae/Hip-Hop Song, Best Holy Hip Hop artist, International Choir of the Year, International Female Artist of the Year and International Minister/TV Ministry of the Year.

Nominations can be made on the Oasis Awards web-site at www.oasis-awards.com which is set to go live within the next seven days.

Oasis Awards organiser Roney Henderson comments, “I am really keen that the public play a part in the nomination process for the Oasis Awards. They are the ones who experience first hand the impact church ministries, social projects and the creativity of gospel artists has on their lives. This means that they are well placed to put forward the names of those ministers, Christian based community projects and gospel artists that are having the greatest impact on the lives and the wider community.

Artists scheduled to appear include hip-hop artist Jahaziel, US gospel newcomer Anthony O’Neal and praise and worship duo Roger and Sam.
