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 2025 SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA (CSMAs).
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and announced** at the 17th-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 28 at 5 p.m. ET.
SVG is excited to share that Maria Trivelpiece, reporter at the American Athletic Conference will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for this year's ceremony.
I'm thrilled by the record number of submissions for the SVG College Sports Media Awards and congratulations to all the Finalists, says Tom Buffolano, chairman of the SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA. It is astounding to me how much quality (and volume) comes out of the college video departments. Technology Innovation and creativity seem to be the biggest drivers of growth and students continue to be a much more critical part of the workflow. Live game production has been lifted by data driven graphics, the addition of pre and post game analysis, and the use of non-traditional video and audio capture for multiple screens, social media and cinematic recaps. This takes planning and skill and results in a much deeper fan engagement. I'm looking forward to a very competitive final round of judging and excited to see the winners announced in Atlanta.
***Winners in the Outstanding Social Media Video and Outstanding In-Venue Video categories will be announced online in the days prior to the ceremony.
