IndieHeaven has also announced the second annual IndieHeaven MOMENTUM Awards, which will be handed out at CIA Summit 2007. The public can vote for their favorite artists online on the CIA Summit site. The final award winners will be announced on Saturday, March 31, 2007.
IndieHeaven founder and CIA Summit director Keith Mohr said, "4 of our award winners from 2006 have seen advancement in their music mission since our first awards. Clearview (now known as Willet) received a recording contract and is on tour full time. Kent Bottenfield received a recording contract with a very well known producer who has started a new label. Sean Smith and Matt Earle are now being distributed nationally by TAG Artist Group."
Keith went on to say, "It's important to recognize and applaud the efforts made in recent years by artists who are independent. By providing them the recognition they have earned we hope to increase their platform and awareness. There are many independent artists who are doing an incredible job with their music, and most importantly their mission. We look forward to the awards being a part of our annual artists conference."
IndieHeaven is a web-based community dedicated to "bringing together independent Christian artists from around the globe, to enable and empower them to fulfill God's call on their lives." The website also provides independent artists with an advanced set of tools to promote, market and distribute their music.
