Beaver Athletics Recognized by CSC for Photography, Video

STORM LAKE, Iowa (July 12, 2024) – College Sports Communicators (CSC) has announced the results of this year’s Creative & Digital Design Contest, and Buena Vista University was recognized in photo and video categories.

Two photos and one video, submitted by assistant director of athletics communications & marketing Ryan Harder, received honors across four different categories. Recognition included honors in “Best of Division III" and “Video of the Year” placement in the College Division, which includes NCAA Divisions II & III, NAIA, two-year schools, and Canadian institutions.

“It's great to be recognized,” says Harder, “but the most rewarding part of the job is giving our student-athletes, coaches, and fans the spotlight they deserve. BVU really is a remarkable educational community, and I'm proud to be a part of it."

CSC was founded in 1957 and is a 4,100+ member national association for strategic, creative and digital communicators across intercollegiate athletics in the United States and Canada. The 2024-25 contest set records with 2,160 total entries, including 1,230 entries in the College Division.
