The gospel industry is beaming with excitement after the announcement of the return of the long-awaited gospel awards. Speaking during the launch, its founder Geoffrey Kwatemba promised to revive the vitality in the gospel industry whose fire was dimming off.

Mercy Masika, Guardian Angel, Pastor Tumaini, Anastacia Mukabwa were amongst artistes nominated during the launch.
