Hamilton, Ohio [March 3, 2008] - Nominations are now being accepted for the 2008 Ministry of Music Awards honoring outstanding church music leaders throughout the country.  Sponsored by the National Religious Music Week Alliance, the awards are a part of the celebration of National Religious Music Week, September 21-27.

“We urge all congregations to take this time to honor talented and dedicated music leaders for the work they do at the church level,” said Paul Thoms, chair of the awards committee.  “Expressing thanks to the men and women who provide music for worship throughout the year is an important part of our Music Week program.”

All nominees will receive a certificate of  recognition.  Many will be given Awards of Merit and   up to 10 entrants will be honored with Awards of Distinction. 

The judging by a national panel will be  based on leadership, community outreach, broad appeal, program growth and development, and enhancement of the worship experience. Certificates and plaques will be issued early in September, so that congregations can make their award presentations on Sunday, September 21 . 

All places of worship are invited to nominate their music leaders for these annual interfaith awards.  Any individual or group may submit a nomination.  A fee of $15 to cover costs is charged for each entry.  Closing date for nominations is July  8. 

Entry forms may be obtained from the National Religious Music Week Alliance  by visiting the web site at www.religiousmusicweek.org, or by emailing musicweek@aol.com.
