Finalists to be celebrated, winners to be named during in-person ceremony hosted by ACC Network's Roddy Jones at SVG College Summit in Atlanta on May 29
Story Highlights
The Sports Video Group (SVG), in partnership with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2024 SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA (CSMAs).
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and announced** at the 16th-annual SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA ceremony, which will be hosted at the SVG College Summit in the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel on May 29 at 5:00 p.m. ET. SVG is excited to announce that ACC Network analyst Roddy Jones will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for this year’s ceremony.
“This year’s entries in the SVG College Sports Media Awards illustrate a trend in video production that has been growing over the past few years,” says Tom Buffolano, chairman of the SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA. “Conferences and schools are producing a larger variety of live sports and using innovative technology to provide more access to fans, including near live social media or enhanced commentary. Storytelling has expanded to highlight the student-athlete’s experience, celebrate coaches and their program milestones and traditions, and promote what is unique about the culture of the university as a positive recruiting approach. I’m thrilled that the CSMAs continue to attract new schools each year, and the depth of quality of production we see is a tribute to those who lead video departments in both athletics and academics.”
“College sports creators are being tasked with producing more content than ever and the industry continues to rise to the occasion,” says Brandon Costa, Director of Digital at Sports Video Group and Program Director of the SVG College Summit. “It’s an honor for the Sports Video Group to celebrate athletic department, conference office, and student talent from across the country. The level of quality continues to astound us.”
The 2024 College Sports Media Awards are sponsored by our friends at Ross Video.
***Winners in the “Outstanding Social Media Video” and “Outstanding In-Venue Video” categories will be announced online in the days prior to the ceremony.
