WINNERS: The ICVM Crown Awards Ceremony announcing the top 3 winners (Gold, Silver & Bronze) in each category will be held at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Media Convention In May of 2023! You won't want to miss it, as NRB is the world's largest gathering of film, TV and radio communicators. Attending gives our Finalists a great shot at free valuable publicity and promotion for themselves and their films. NRB also holds great film seminars and networking events -- and hosts its very popular Film Pitch-a-thon, giving you opportunities to pitch one-on-one to distributors you choose!
NRB CONVENTION DELAY: NRB is normally in March each year, but due to a hotel scheduling obligation, it will happen in May next year. We feel it's worth waiting to name the winners at NRB because of the value our finalist filmmakers get by winning awards in front of 3,500 of the top professionals in Christian TV, radio and film who attend NRB.
