announced at the conclusion of the board meeting, in a ceremony at Boutwell
Municipal Auditorium, at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 17, 2000.
This year’s awards featured 27 categories. The awards were spread out over three categories: traditional, contemporary,

Excellence Awards Academy, which is comprised of convention officers,
auxiliary leaders, chapter representatives, Gospel record executives,
promoters, retailers, and print, television and radio media. To be
eligible for nomination, albums are required to have been released in
the calendar year for 1999 (January 1 through to December 31).
