Who brought home top prize at the 2020 Dove Awards?

Read below for a complete list of winners from the 51st annual Christian music awards program.

Due to COVID-19 precautions, the Dove Awards stretched across two nights this year: A pre-television awards segment that aired Thursday on the program's Facebook page, and a Friday night mainstage broadcast featuring marquee honors and performances.

This year's televised event aired on faith-based network TBN. Artists pre-taped appearances at a TBN studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

Top honors went to brotherly duo for KING & COUNTRY, who scored Artist of the Year and Short Form Video of the Year for Dolly Parton collaboration "God Only Knows."

Kanye West, the global cultural figure, best-selling rapper and U.S. presidential candidate who released his Christian album "Jesus Is King" last year, earned three nominations and one Dove Award — Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year for his track "Follow God."
