Congrats, guys, on winning New Artist of the Year at the 40th Annual Dove Awards!  

Brandon Heath showed up at the Dove Awards empty handed, and left with three shiny little Dove statues. Not bad for a newbie! He recently won three Dove Awards for Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song for "Give Me Your Eyes".  

Check out these pics of Brandon hanging out with other Dove award winners from last Thursday night, including Steven Curtis Chapman, who won two Doves for Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.

And don't they look cute?  It's Brandon Heath with the guys from Tenth Avenue North who won their first Dove Award for New Artist of the Year.  Congrats!  :)
