About the Diamond Awards
The Diamond Awards were transferred over to the SGN Scoops Magazine three years ago after the original home for the awards, the Gospel Voice Magazine, folded. The Diamond Awards are a fan based award that allows the fans to choose the nominees as well as the winners each year. The awards show is based during the National Quartet Convention every September.

Is the "Scoops" an active operation? I have been to that site and it looks like all the info is very old. I used to get tons of email from them asking me to advertise, but the only thing I hear about is the "diamond awards" at NQC. Why would there be two award shows at the convention? Can anyone enlighten me?
