The Covenant Awards are awarded annually by GMA Canada, the Gospel Music Association of Canada (formerly known as the CGMA). Created in 1974, the association is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the growth and ministry of Christian music arts in Canada. To this end, GMA Canada presents the annual Covenant Awards, Canada's national awards for the Canadian Gospel Music industry. GMA Canada works to raise the profile and interaction of Christian artists, songwriters, producers, promoters and others working in Christian music with media, retailers, distributors and church leadership. GMA Canada has committed itself to nurturing and developing its members through educational programs as well as celebrating outstanding achievements and standards of excellence in all areas and genres of Canadian Gospel music.

The Covenant Awards ceremonies are held annually in cities across Canada. The 36th annual Covenant Awards were handed in November 2014 in Langley, British Columbia. GMA Canada is loosely associated with the Gospel Music Association in the United States, which presents the Dove Awards. Covenant Awards are handed out in over 45 categories (see winners' lists below). One of the most prestigious awards given is the GMA Canada Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2008 the association released a special three-CD collection to commemorate its 30th anniversary, the GMA Canada presents 30th Anniversary Collection.
