ICVM: 51st Annual Crown Awards Finalists Announced!
The 51st Annual ICVM Crown Awards, honoring the best in indie Christian film and TV, announced the finalists during the ICVM Storytellers Conference in Franklin, TN. Five finalists were chosen in each of the 17 categories, which received entries from 22 countries around the world.
The finalists will vie for the Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards at ICVM’s gala awards ceremony during NRB’s Christian Media Convention on February 21st, in Nashville, TN.
ICVM’s Storyteller Conference, a 4-day event which takes place each fall, also featured the first-ever Christian Film Market, where filmmakers with finished films made deals directly with distributors. It also featured a Script & Story Pitch-a-thon, educational seminars, networking events, forums and pre-release screenings. This year marked a special year where we welcomed Lion's Den DFW to present projects and investors to our ICVM family.
For 51 years the International Christian Visual Media Association (ICVM) has been helping educate, network, empower and inspire Christian filmmakers and distributors around the world.
