Manitoban artists fared well at the 43rd annual GMA Covenant Awards.

For the second year in a row, Jordan St. Cyr, originally from Niverville, Manitoba, now living in Nashville, Tennessee, cleaned house, taking home five awards, including Adult Contemporary Artist of the Year and Pop Song of the Year for 'Rescue.'

Meanwhile, The Color walked away with two awards, including The Redeemer University Group of the Year and The Life 100.3 Pop Artist of the Year.

"Thanks @gmacanada!! Extremely honoured to be named Group of the Year and Pop Artist of the Year at this year's Covenant Awards! Congrats to all nominees and award winners this year! Sad we couldn’t be in attendance to hang with you all, but stoked to watch all the excitement from afar!" said the band in a social media post.

Winnipeg artist Carine Bado took home Song of the Year, while Mike Janzen was awarded Folk Song of the Year. Fresh IE was also recognized alongside Bradley "DJC2" Jacobson, taking home two awards, The Between the Grooves Producer of the Year and Visual Designer of the Year.
