52nd Annual ICVM Crown Awards

About The Crown Awards

The longest-running faith-based film awards ceremony celebrates its 52nd annual year recognizing and promoting the very best in Christian production.

We award 19 categories for every type of production, including Movies, Documentaries, Foreign Films, Series, Shorts, Foreign Films, Church Media, Student Films, Comedy, Best Actor, Best Actress and more.

5 finalists in each category are announced at a dinner ceremony held at the ICVM annual Storytellers Conference. The 5 finalists advance to our annual red-carpet ICVM Crown Awards Ceremony held at the NRB Christian Media Convention where 3 winners in each category will be announced and get their awards on-stage!

Together with over 3,500 of the top Christian TV, radio and film professionals, winners get recognition in front of an impressive professional audience to bring greater promotional opportunities than most festivals.

Attend the NRB 2025 Convention in Texas from February 24-27, 2025 where we announce the Crown Awards winners in each category.

Bringing top Hollywood speakers to the conference has meant a world to me personally as I cross over to producing theatrical films. Thanks ICVM for changing with the times, yet staying rooted in the past and principles you began with.”

“We are from England, where there are not many Christian production companies. It was a blessing to be able to mix with our brothers and sisters in the Lord from around the world and to admire the excellence of their work. There was no hype or competition, but a genuine concern to encourage one another.”

“We joined ICVM 19 years ago. In that time, I have never missed a conference. ICVM continues to be an essential part of the process that makes our business successful, with the amazing bonus of deep friendships that will last a lifetime.”

“ICVM is an oasis where those that understand the demands of the industry pray for you and help you to stand firm like a tree planted by streams of water.”

“The thing I LOVE about ICVM is that I have so many incredible lifelong friends there who are committed to the great commission and love God and His people.”

“I love the spiritual uplifting [I receive] and being around others who share the same love for the industry as I do!”

HISTORY OF THE CROWN AWARDS

Since 1973

Since 1973, when a group of distributors began to honor the work of Christian film producers, the traditional awards ceremony has made a great ending to the ICVM conference each year. The Crown Awards are a celebration of films and film-makers, encouraging and inspiring creativity by showcasing great examples of excellence in communicating Christian values.
