According to the definition, to be considered eligible for the Dove Awards, music was required to have lyrics that were: </p> <ul><li>Substantially based upon historically orthodox Christian truth contained in or derived from the Holy Bible</li> <li>An expression of worship of God or praise for His works</li> <li>Testimony of relationship with God through Christ</li> <li>Obviously prompted and informed by a Christian world view<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <p>Prior to the definition, the only qualified music was that sold in <a href="/wiki/CBA_(Christian_trade_association)" title="CBA (Christian trade association)">Christian Booksellers Association</a> affiliated stores. The new standards resulted in complaints by some fans and artists after thirteen entries were disqualified as being too secular in the 1999 Dove Awards.
