# Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album

The Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album is an honor presented at the Grammy Awards to artists and producers who make the best albums in the contemporary Christian music (CCM) genre from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to help it "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".
The Best Contemporary Christian Music Album award was one of the new categories created after a major overhaul of the Grammy Awards categories for 2012. This award combines recordings that were previously submitted for the Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album, Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album and Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album.
The academy made a distinction between CCM and gospel music after determining that there were "two distinct wings to the gospel house" and that the "gospel" tends to conjure the images and sounds of traditional gospel but not CCM. With this in mind, it renamed the categories as Best Gospel Album (for soul and urban contemporary gospel) and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
