Cinema students from Bob Jones University were recently recognized at the 2025 Intercollegiate National Religious Broadcasters (iNRB) convention in Dallas, TX. This is the eleventh time BJU students have entered the competition. They have won awards in the film category every year.
NRB presents awards to undergraduate or graduate student iNRB members for outstanding examples of radio, television, and film productions. The annual convention allows students to network with professionals in their fields and participate in workshops related to Christian media.
The two BJU Film & Digital Storytelling teams won first and second place during the 24-hour intercollegiate film competition.

“The quality of work our film students produce in a 24-hour period never ceases to amaze me. At the awards banquet, last year’s winning film, made by a BJU team, was showcased and four returning students were able to be recognized for their work,” said Sharyn Robertson, BJU cinema department head. “I am always proud of what our students accomplish and how they represent our department and BJU at the convention.”
