Official Stellar Award RESULTS —  The Official Results for the 23rd Annual Stellar Awards were announced from Nashville. Check out ALL the results here.

Ditching the recent trend for one artist to truck home most of the Stellar Award trophies, the 23rd Annual Gospel Music Awards were highlighted by a newcomer and a beloved veteran group being weighed down with the most honors. The Clark Sisters took home four Stellar Awards for "Artist of the Year," "Group/Duo of the Year," "CD of the Year," and "Traditional Group/Duo of the Year", on the basis of their popular reunion recording Live - One Last Time, from EMI Gospel. New artist DeWayne Woods was honored for his debut solo effort, Introducing DeWayne Woods & When Singers Meet, and picked up the "New Artist of the Year" and "Male Vocalist of the Year" award. The hit song, "Let Go, Let God", from his album, written by PJ Morton, was also honored as "Song of the Year". Special achievement awards were presented to CeCe Winans, Tramaine Hawkins, The Caravans and The Barrett Sisters during the evening.
