The college sports video production community answered the call in every facet of the game for this year's CSMAs, says Brandon Costa, Director of Digital at Sports Video Group and Program Director of the SVG College Summit. From live game production to special features and videos produced specifically for social media or venue videoboards, the quality of the content has never been stronger. Schools of all staffing and budget sizes excelled in this year's competition. The amount of quality video production work being done at campuses across the country is truly incredible. It is one of the great honors for us here at SVG to host the CSMAs. This has been a special year for all involved.

This was a record year for both entries and number of schools submitting to the SVG College Sports Media Awards by more than 30% of our pre-pandemic levels, ays Tom Buffolano, chairman of the SVG College Sports Media Awards in association with NACDA. What contributed to this was a combination of things. The lessons and workflows in producing live games and events that were born of necessity, became more accepted. Social Media platforms became outlets for highly creative approaches to video production, and capacity crowds were entertained by a higher degree of in venue video interaction than ever before. Social issues in particular the 50th Anniversary of Title IX drove storytelling in a longer form. This is further evidenced by the extremely high quality of our Finalists.

This year's ceremony in Atlanta with feature Morgan Uber, Director of Video Communications and Reporter for the American Athletic Conference and John Fanta, a college basketball broadcaster and reporter for FOX Sports and Digital Correspondent for the Big East Conference as Masters of Ceremonies.

The 2023 College Sports Media Awards are sponsored by our friends at Ross Video.

***Winners in the Outstanding Social Media Video and Outstanding Program Series categories will be announced online in the days prior to the ceremony.
