Rules & Terms

We accept submissions and honor all films presenting Christian content. Ideal documentaries explore Biblical research, highlight world missions, and present biographies of various Christians. We have enjoyed some of the Best Christian Documentaries ever submitted. New for this year are Podcasts/News Reports and Photo Journalism. We are glad to have you as a part of our wonderful event.

Very Important: No nudity, vulgarity, or themes not suitable to younger audiences will be considered as an official selection. We will select the top projects in each category as nominees and award the top film $250. All projects will be reviewed for content relating to Christian Values. Top projects will be judged in 10 areas, such as creativity, production value, sound, etc. Projects should be faith-based, family friendly, and inspirational. The ultimate goal is to have your projects reach out to people that may have never heard of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also want to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ with your projects.

    These guys are great. Nice to have a Christian doc festival. It’s a blessing to have a group like this with whom to share our film. Thank you!

    My little 7-minute story was photographed in the Sonoran Desert wilderness over 2 years…it was SO fun going out before dawn and finding the Mamas with babies…and then winning the prestigious Cross Docs Award! I am humbled. The story is how Jesus may have felt about the sweet donkeys in His life…”Burrito’s First Christmas” has a special surprise at the end! Wait for it…!
