GSCA Achievement Awards

During the COVID-19 pandemic, with theaters closed, film productions on hold, and GSCA events being held virtually rather than in person, we did not present the traditional GSCA awards in 2020 or 2021. However, when we reconvened for in-person events, GSCA presented awards for 2020 films during the 2022 Conference in Chattanooga, and awards for 2020 marketing campaigns during the 2023 Conference in Indianapolis. These photos were taken during those respective conferences.
