Acadia Divinity College stood out this year at the Canadian Christian Communicators Association Awards, earning first place in three categories for work published in 2025. The winners were announced at the CCCA Annual conference in Toronto this May.
These awards are a reflection of ADC’s commitment to purposeful storytelling and communications efforts that amplify formation, mobilize education, empower connection, and ignite innovation in support of our mission to equip Christians for service.
FIRST PLACE: Video Production
Shape Your Future Promotional Video
Filming and Production: Mark Moore, Red Lama Media
Script: Carley Lee
What the judges had to say: “This production is beautifully conceived, recorded, and edited. It is short, and yet profound. The production does not rely on cliches and long-established religious jargon, both of which can stifle creative thinking. Instead, there were enough symbols throughout the production to establish what faith is being considered.”
FIRST PLACE: General Excellence, Institutional Publication

What the judges had to say: “Well designed, well written and well thought out publication. It not only provides the basics – news, faculty updates, alumni updates, information that alumni and supporters want to know – but also interesting articles that resource readers. Readers are not only informed but also instructed and inspired.”

What the judges had to say: “Great photography and colour treatment. I like the warm feel of the image – the designer did a great job of colour-correcting the graphic to look inspiring. I like the overall treatment of the cover with the articles laid out along the bottom and large focus on the main article.”
