The Origins Vanguard Award recognizes artists whose artistry, influence and impact have helped shape country music’s evolving landscape while opening doors and creating greater possibilities for others.
“The Vanguard Award gives us an opportunity to recognize artists whose impact reaches beyond a single year,” Corey Jones, CEO and co-founder of Origins Music Group, said in a statement. “The War and Treaty represent exactly what this honor was created to celebrate. Their artistry speaks for itself, but their journey has also opened doors, challenged expectations and created space for artists who may not have always seen themselves reflected in Country Music.”
Origins Music Group (OMG), a Nashville-based music and entertainment organization, also announced this year’s finalists across 18 categories, including Breland, Blanco Brown, K. Michelle, Nappy Roots, Pynk Beard, The Boykinz, Gustavo Mioto, RVSHVD, Shy Carter, Kashus Culpepper, Camille Parker, The Kentucky Gentlemen, MŌRIAH, Angie K and Dalton Dover.
“What makes the Origins Impact Awards special is that we aren’t asking artists to fit into one narrow definition of what country music is supposed to look or sound like,” Jones said. “These finalists represent the depth of talent that exists across country music today. They are building audiences, creating communities and showing just how expansive this music and its culture can be.”
The 2026 ceremony will feature live performances, special presentations and appearances from artists and industry leaders.
Rissi Palmer, Coffey Anderson, Angie K, Miko Marks, Reyna Roberts and Pynk Beard were among the winners at the second Origins Impact Awards, which were held on Nov. 20, 2025, at Nashville’s The Cowan.
