Winners from recent years have been announced online. See below for lists of winners and videos of awards ceremonies.
Each year, Christian communicators are invited to submit their best work to the annual CCCA Awards. They compete with other individuals and publications for first-, second- and third-place awards in approximately 30 categories. Some wins also earn cash prizes.
The contest for work published in 2022 welcomes entries until Feb. 28, 2023. Winning entries for work published in 2021 were announced May 5, 2022 as noted below.
These awards are given not only to the highest quality examples of writing and reporting, but also graphic design (photography, artwork and cover page design) as well as online media such as websites, blogs, videos, podcasts and social media. There is also a special STUDENT AWARD open to post-secondary students of all ages.
