The 35th Annual GMA Music Awards (the show had a name change in 2004-05) were held on April 28, 2004 recognizing accomplishments of musicians for the year 2003. The show was held at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, and was hosted by Deion Sanders and Yolanda Adams. Nominations were announced months earlier by Steven Curtis Chapman and Toby McKeehan. The ceremony was eventually broadcast in December 2004 on Pax (now Ion Television). MercyMe won Artist of the Year, plus two other awards, while Jeremy Camp was awarded New Artist of the Year.
