The organizers of the Gospel Filmmakers Network (GFN) Awards have announced an extension of the nomination window for the 2025 edition of the prestigious awards ceremony dedicated to celebrating excellence in gospel filmmaking. The extension gives drama ministers and gospel filmmakers additional time to submit their works and participate in this year’s edition, which promises to be one of the most inspiring events in the Christian film community.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!According to the announcement made earlier this week, the new deadline for nominations is October 9, 2025. Interested filmmakers and drama ministries are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their creative works by visiting the official GFN Awards portal at https://gfnawards.carrd.co. The nomination process, organizers say, remains simple and transparent, ensuring that every submission is given fair consideration.
The GFN Awards, which has grown to become a leading platform for gospel film creators, is known for recognizing and honouring individuals and ministries who use media and film to spread the message of Christ. From short films to full-length productions, the awards highlight stories that inspire faith, promote moral values, and reflect the transforming power of the Gospel. Categories include Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Script, Best Cinematography, and other creative recognitions that celebrate technical excellence and spiritual depth.
Since its inception, the Gospel Filmmakers Network has remained committed to raising the Lord’s standard in Christian film production. The GFN Awards serves as both a celebration and a call to action for filmmakers to continue producing quality, spirit-filled content that glorifies God and impacts lives. Over the years, the platform has become a rallying point for Christian creatives across Nigeria and beyond, encouraging them to embrace innovation while maintaining the integrity of their message.
Speaking on the extension, the organizers emphasized that the goal is to allow more filmmakers to participate and ensure inclusivity across the growing gospel film community. “We have received overwhelming interest from filmmakers and ministries who requested a little more time to submit their works,” a statement from the organizers read. “As a network committed to excellence, we believe every deserving filmmaker should have a chance to be recognized for their contributions to the kingdom through film.”
The 2025 edition of the GFN Awards is expected to attract top gospel actors, directors, producers, and church media teams from across the country. Beyond the awards, it will feature moments of worship, networking, and inspiration for those passionate about the future of Christian media.
Nominations remain open until October 9, 2025, after which the selection process will begin. Filmmakers are urged not to miss this opportunity to have their works celebrated on a national platform that recognizes both talent and purpose.
