This year’s competition features a restructuring of two divisions with, for the first time, Conference Offices and Governing Bodies competing in their own division. In addition, all media organizations — including national networks, regional sports networks, third-party packagers, and independent production companies — will compete in the new Professional division.

This year’s awards will be given in four divisions across five categories:

Divisions

  • Professional
  • Collegiate Conference Offices and Governing Bodies
  • Collegiate Athletics
  • Collegiate Student



Categories

  • Live Game Production
  • Live Non-Game Production
  • 
Program Series
  • Special Feature
  • 
Promotion Video: Hype, Open, Tease, PSA, or Marketing Campaign

WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR?

Those who have entered the SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA should note some key changes to the rules and entry procedures:

  • Conferences and Governing Bodies Now Have Their Own Division!
    Given the growth of live video production by conferences and governing bodies (NCAA, NJCAA, NAIA), this replaces the Regional Sports/Local/Syndicators Networks Division.
  • Production Companies and Regional/Local/Syndicators will now compete with National Networks in the New “Professional” Division.
    If you are entering as a production company, regional/local network, or syndicator, you will now compete in the National and Regional Networks, Local TV Stations, and Production Companies Division.
  • Social-Media/Digital-Platform Material Accepted
    Entrants are highly encouraged to submit entries that were designed primarily for social-media distribution, both live and preproduced. This includes games or non-game productions intended for airing on Facebook Live, Twitter, a Smart TV application, etc. If you have any questions about where your video fits, please ask!
