Worshipmusic.com is the world's first and largest online resource dedicated to Christian worship. In addition to the headline "Album of the Year" award, WorshipMusic.com also announced the seven recipients of the Editor's Choice award. These are a unique selection of the very best worship projects from the last year. Musical production, creativity, resourcing of the church, and spiritual attentiveness to the focus of "praise & worship" all play into how these "cream of the crop" projects were chosen for this award.

Kim Gentes, President of WorshipMusic.com, said, "Vineyard Music Canada has been a perennial contributor of great modern day worship classics, not just with great musicianship, but tremendous songs. We recognize that selections of music awards are subjective, so our goal has been to highlight what we consider the album we most highly recommend as a worship resource for today's churches. Produced by Canadians Brian Doerksen, Philip Janz and Daphne Rademaker, the "All I Need" project contributes an amazing breadth of style, excellent song writing, and wonderful music presentation, while remaining a thoroughly worship filled resource that is usable in the church.

"'All I Need' stood among a varied field of worship resources", Gentes added, "that we considered for this year's award. David Crowder's 'Can You Hear Us', Tim Hughes' 'Here I Am To Worship', Hillsong's 'You Are My World', and independent collection 'Soularize Worship' were the other excellent albums considered for the award. Additionally, we had two phenomenal non-CD resources considered this year: the 'God of Wonders Video Songbook' and the 'Musicland Band' video."
