Since the Stellars began over 30 ago, the show has given new artists a platform to help cement themselves in the gospel music industry. This year, the number of new gospel music artists is something to be noted, according to the founder of the Stellar Awards.

"Our 2017 nominees represent the strongest group of Gospel artists and songs in our 32-year history of the Stellar Awards," Don Jackson, the founder of the Stellar Awards said in an interview with Billboard.

"This year's large number of artists who are first-time nominees is a positive testament to the new and upcoming artists in gospel music, as well as a reflection of the tremendous growth of the gospel music genre."

This year, the artists up for a "New Artist of the Year" award are Briana Babineaux, Enon Tabernacle, Livre' and Deborah Joy Winans.
