Brooke Smith Places in National Film Competition

2018 Mar 6

Brooke Smith, a journalism and mass communication student at Bob Jones University, recently placed in the Intercollegiate National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) 24 Hour Christian Vision (CV) News Challenge held February 27-28 at the 2018 NRB International Christian Media Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.

NRB presents awards to undergraduate or graduate student iNRB members for outstanding examples of radio, TV, and film productions. The annual convention allows students to network with professionals in their fields and participate in workshops related to Christian media.

Participants were required to create a two to four minute news segment within a 24-hour time frame featuring a story taking place at the convention. The BJU team covered the story of school safety.

Smith, a senior from Anderson, placed third with two other students and received a $250 prize.

"Our students excelled at the recent iNRB competition in Nashville," said Dr. Darren Lawson, dean of BJU's School of Fine Arts and Communication. "I was pleased to see them put the storytelling skills they are learning into practice and then to be recognized with top awards for their work."
