We are traveling the Road to the 2015 Diamond Awards during this nomination period, by highlighting the definition of each award category. The Sunrise Award is given to a new or developing full-time artist who has seen major growth in their career, as evidenced by airplay or personal appearances during the past year. Nominees in this category must have released their debut single only two years prior to the eligibility date of January 1, 2015. This award is a once-in-a-lifetime honor and can be presented to any artist in the Southern, Country or Bluegrass Christian music genres.

On November 4th, 2014, the Diamond Awards were held at the 2014 Creekside Gospel Music Convention in Pigeon Forge. The winner of the 2014 Sunrise Diamond Award was 11th Hour, whose debut album in October 2o12 was Steppin’ Out. They followed that up with Picture This in June 2014. They have also been nominated for awards by the Singing News and Absolutely Gospel. 11th Hour has had several charting songs such as “Steppin’ Out,” “Adam’s Fall,” “Room With A View,” and “How Will You Plead.”
