ICVM & CVA OPORTUNITIES 2026

OUR MISSION

To support the Christian film community around the world by educating and enriching them, and provide the tools and relationships they need to bring the Gospel and saving message of our Lord Jesus Christ to the world through media of all types.

We do this year-round with:

  • Our annual ICVM Storytellers Conference September 30-October 3 2026
  • Our Christian Film Market for finished films
  • Our Script and Story Pitch-a-thon
  • Our 54th annual ICVM Crown Awards, the longest-running Christian film honors
  • Our partnership with NRB to hold the ICVM Crown Awards at National Religious Broadcasters Convention (NRB)
  • Our new quarterly newsletter
  • Our website and social media sites to keep filmmakers, crew & distributors up-to-date
  • Our members list given to all members to get questions answered and to make networking easier

ICVM can’t do this without the financial support of our sponsors and donations. We work hard to give our sponsors benefits and exposure not only at the Conference, but year-round. Look over what’s available, then contact us to make your sponsorship work best for your company.

There are two ways to help financially:

  • Sponsorships
  • Donations

All contributions go through CVA, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. ICVM can’t do this without the financial support of our sponsors and donors. We work hard to give our sponsors benefits and exposure not only at the Conference, but year-round. Look over what’s available, then contact us to make your sponsorship work best for your company.
