Nashville, TN (July 26, 2013) The first ever Youth In Excellence Awards, hosted by Bev McCann of Godsey and Associates was a huge success when held in Nashville, TN last Monday evening, July 15th. With a capacity crowd and an array of talent, the awards were given for the accomplishments of young people in the film and music arenas.
Founder of the awards, film maker Beth Roose stated “I noticed that the youth in films and music are not receiving much attention for all the hard work and talent that they have. I felt it was time to make a change and give the youth of the industry just a little recognition.â€
Eden Wood was a big winner for the evening with Rhema Marvanne and Gavin Morales also taking home an armful of Awards.
Beth Roose continued “One of the most touching awards of the night was to the Military. We had Lt. Col Richard Mendez from the USAF there. We presented him an award and sang God Bless America. After the song, two of the girls Ginny Posey and Eden Wood wrote notes about how they loved this country and read it to the Lt. Col and then gave him the notes. He was clearly moved. Another moving moment was when Lulu Roman, of Hee Haw fame, accepted her Lifetime Achievement Award. Lulu was surprised when her friends from Southern Gospel, Zane and Donna King appeared to present her award to her.â€
