The 11th Annual GMA Dove Awards was the first Dove Awards held during Gospel Music Week in April 1980, accomplishments of musicians for the "long" period between the September 1978 awards show and the new date of April 1980. The show was held in Nashville, Tennessee.
NOTE: The 1971 winners (except GMA Hall of Fame members) were nullified because of voting irregularities; no awards show was held in 1979, as the Gospel Music Association moved the awards show from September to April.
