Thirteen different artists, representing five different genres of Gospel and Christian music, were honored with awards by their fellow-members/artists at the Sixth Annual USAGEM Awards Banquet which was held Saturday, November 21, 2009, at the Montgomery Bell State Park Convention Center in Burns, Tennessee. The awards show, which was filmed for future television broadcasts, was hosted by The Fox Brothers.
This was the first year USAGEM accepted nominations for a “Songwriter of the Year” award. Ann landed in the top 5 nominees, with Glenn Tubb, Jim Whitaker, Daniel Johnson, and Mitch Gardner. Ann was deeply honored to learn that her peers had voted her as the 2009 Songwriter of the Year.
