The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), a leading platform in faith-based media, invites television producers to submit their projects for the prestigious event on February 17, 1-4 pm CST at Gaylord Opryland, Nashville, Tennessee, Delta Mezzanine 7-8.
** This year, we have added an extra hour for networking with programming executives. You must have a one-day pass or a full conference pass to attend.

This unique event allows you to present a two-minute trailer/promo of your broadcast-ready or post-production project to an exclusive audience of Christian network executives, online programmers, national distributors, and local station leaders—all actively seeking original content for global broadcast and streaming.

The Showcase welcomes a wide range of content categories, including:

* Broadcast Programs
* Online VOD Content
* Children's Programming
* Music Specials
* News, Documentary & Podcast TV Programs
* Entertainment Programming

This is not a film festival; we do not screen entire programs or full features, only the two-minute promos or trailers for the project.

Please read our Submission Guidelines before entering.

Don't miss this chance to spotlight your work before key industry decision-makers!

Awards & Prizes

Programs will be notified in December 2025 that they have been "Selected" to screen their two-minute trailer at the NRB Showcase. We encourage you to plan on attending in Nashville (You need to purchase a day-pass for access).

If your program is selected, you will be allowed to "pitch" your project to the audience at the NRB Showcase. If selected, you will be required to purchase either a One-Day pass to the NRB convention or a full-convention pass. You do not have to be an NRB member to submit to or attend the Showcase or the Convention.

    We were blessed to have our documentary to fight Holocaust denial, "Their Blood Cries Out," in the NRB TV Showcase. It was fun to be present at the Showcase and see what other filmmakers are doing with their creative gifts. There is outstanding talent in the Christian television and filmmaking world at this time in history.

    This festival was our best discovery of 2024. We just came back from the event in person from Dallas.Texas and it was extraordinary. We felt like we'd been in the right place at the right time. The organization was great right up to the end. And John Ondo, the organizer, kept us regularly informed about the details of the event, and even gave us tips on how to succeed in our pitch. This helped me a lot and I enjoyed it immensely. It's a festival I'd recommend and I'll definitely be going back.
