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
However, the 2019 competition is bringing about some new rules. Some changes have been made to the 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
If you are going to submit an entry, you’re highly encouraged to submit work that’s been designed primarily for social-media distribution. This includes games or non-game productions intended for airing on Facebook Live, Twitter, a Smart TV application, etc.
Any party entering a submission to the SVG/NACDA College Sports Media Awards qualifies for a complimentary pass to attend the SVG College Summit.
