In 2003, the annual SOURCE Awards were established by founder Kay Smith to honor and pay respect to the Women Behind The Music who helped shape and build upon Nashville’s entertainment industry.

​

The SOURCE Hall of Fame Awards has celebrated women in the music industry for over two decades. Each year a select group of honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame and given a permanent spot in the SOURCE exhibit inside the Musician’s Hall of Fame and Museum in downtown Nashville, TN.  SOURCE Hall of Fame inductees are nominated and inducted based on peer recommendations, biographies, accomplishments, reputation, the number of years each individual has worked within the entertainment industry, and level of community involvement.  The inductees are all women who have made a significant impact on the Nashville entertainment industry.

 

The SOURCE Hall of Fame Awards are held each year thanks to the generous donations of our sponsors.  To join us in honoring the lifetime achievements of WOMEN behind the music please reach out to Erica Rosa, the SOURCE Hall of Fame Awards chair, at awards@sourcenashville.org.
