45th ANNUAL ICVM CROWN AWARDS ARE OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS!

The prestigious ICVM Crown Awards – the longest-running awards given supporting Christian film and media creators -- are bigger and better than ever!

We’ve partnered with Film Freeway to allow our Awards to be open for both ICVM members and non-members -- and make it easier to submit projects from anywhere in the world.  We’ve also partnered with NRB on a Crown Awards ceremony at their conference to give our Crown Award-winners a big promotional boost!

HOW TO SUBMIT

We’ve made it more valuable to be an ICVM member – members get a 50% discount on all submissions to the Awards!  You will get the discount code when you join ICVM.  You can join here.   If you are already a member, ask for your FilmFreeway discount code from Paul Marks at  [email protected].

TO GET THE AWARDS SUBMISSION DISCOUNT, YOU MUST SUBMIT THE CODE AT THE TIME YOU SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT ON FILM FREEWAY.
