"Imperfections &amp; Directions" was nominated as Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year at the 2012 Juno Awards, Canada's top music awards. Loder said the nomination was a surprise; she learned about it in a text message from Newman after missing a call from him. Her fellow nominees in the Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album category were Jon Bauer's "Forevermore", downhere's "On the Altar of Love", Sky Terminal's "Don't Close Your Eyes" and Hawk Nelson's "Crazy Love". Loder travelled to Ottawa, Ontario on March 28 to attend the awards ceremony, hosted by William Shatner at Scotiabank Place on April 1. Her album was one of three Newfoundland nominees at the Juno Awards that year; the other two were rock band Hey Rosetta! and The Once's folk album, "Row Upon Row of the People We Know". Loder said that "on a scale of 1 to 10", her excitement about her Juno nomination was "probably a 10."
