The 52nd GMA Dove Awards are, not surprisingly, focused on song, with the only non-music category being Inspirational Film of the Year. This time around, though, music factored heavily in even that category since the winner - A Week Away - is a musical.

The Netflix-distributed picture is set in a Christian summer camp and features Christian actor Kevin Quinn playing opposite Bailee Madison in a fish-out-of-water story. The film tells a tale of young love between their characters and features remakes of well-known contemporary Christian songs from artists like Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant and Steven Curtis Chapman, the latter two of whom also have cameos in the faith-based movie.


A Week Away was a big hit with audiences around the world when it released earlier this year, ranking in Netflix's Top-10 in multi countries, which Christian Film Blog reported at the time.
