In response to the nominations, nominees expressed their gratitude for the recognition.

“Thank you so much to the GMA, Daywind records and my peers for these two nominations,” said Joseph Habedank. "autobiography is truly the most personal album I’ve ever written and released. To see it recognized in this way is so humbling”

Karen Peck stated, “We are extremely honored and grateful for our Dove nomination. A few days ago we sang "Sheaves" at our Mom’s Heaven Celebration. This song is dear to our hearts. We pray it will continue to encourage hurting hearts… ‘He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.’ - Psalms 126:6.”

Gary Casto of the Tribute Quartet said, “It’s been fun to watch the songs from our Quartet Tribute series (produced by Gerald Wolfe) gain breaths of fresh air. The fact that this latest volume (Vol. 3) has garnered a Dove Award nomination really is a testament to the intrinsic value these songs still hold today.”

Jerry Cole from Authentic Unlimited expressed, “We are humbled and honored to be recognized amongst the great talent in the Christian/Gospel genre. We are deeply grateful to our fans, our team at Daywind Music Group, and the Gospel Music Association for this incredible honor.”
