Ballots will go out to Singing News magazine subscribers in July to vote for the overall winner in each category. Winners will be announced in September at The National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Ky.

In a statement the groups says of their nominations, “Triumphant is truly humbled and grateful for the support fans have shown in their music and ministry.”

Russ Hollingsworth, general manager of The Miracle Theater where the group performs says, “We are happy to have such an influential Southern Gospel group bringing award-winning talent to The Miracle Theater.
