International Christian Visual Media Association
Serving Our Members
ICVM serves the Christian film and media industry through events and membership that bring together international storytellers, producers, distributors, and investors. For over 50 years, ICVM has hosted the annual Storytellers Conference and Crown Awards, honoring the best in Christian film and media. ICVM continues to expand through events like MediaSphere, the Christian Film Market, the Script & Story Pitch-A-Thon, and more.
The longest-running faith-based film awards ceremony will celebrate its 54th annual year recognizing and promoting the very best in Christian production. It’s open for entries now! Winners in 28 categories will be split this year, much like the Oscars do, with 11 of the more ‘individual‘ category winners receiving their awards at the ICVM Storytellers Conference from Sept. 30- Oct. 3 in Orlando, Florida.
The 17 remaining categories will receive their awards at the ICVM Crown Awards Ceremony held at the NRB Christian Media Convention in Washington D.C. from Feb. 23 – 26, 2027, where almost 6,000 of the top film, TV and radio professionals gather – a great place to network.

Our Mission
Since 1972
“To be a supportive Christian community for those involved in the production and distribution of visual media; encouraging and networking to communicate Christ to the world.”
Our History
ICVM is a community of Christians involved in bringing the message of Christ to the world through the use of media. As an organization, we are committed to bringing together like-minded individuals with the same passion, and helping our members multiply their effectiveness through every possible opportunity.
ICVM started with the advent of the Christian film industry. Many companies formed to meet the demand of more and better quality dramatic movies with a spiritual emphasis. Children’s videos started to proliferate as more and more parents became frustrated with what was coming out of Hollywood.
Today ICVM is a consortium of producers and distributors making a difference in the world through visual media. The ICVM membership family includes media organizations and media missionaries as well as individual video producers, independent writers, directors, actors and even some individuals who are simply interested in supporting Christian films and filmmakers.
Whatever your niche, we ask you to prayerfully consider joining this group who will encourage you to fulfill God’s call for your life.
