2007 competition

The winner of the Best of Festival Award was The Monstrous Regiment of Women, a documentary on Feminism by the Gunn brothers who in 2005 won the best documentary for their film Shaky Town.[2] Samaritan won the best narrative. A Cry from Iran took the Best Documentary Award. Best Biblical Family Award went to Joel's Journey. Heartstrings, directed by John Moore won both the Young Filmmaker’s Award and the Audience Choice Award.[3]

2009 competition

There was no festival in 2008. The winner of the 2009 festival was The Widow's Might,[1][4][5] (which was made by John Moore's friends and family) which won $101,000 as the winner.[6] Fireproof won Best Feature, and a documentary on the Terri Schiavo case won Best Documentary.[7] The festival was held on January 8–10.[8]

2010 competition

The winner of the 2010 festival was Agenda: Grinding America Down, a documentary alleging hidden Socialism in the United States.[9]

2012 competition

There was no festival in 2011, due not to a festival cancelation, but simply because the festival dates were moved from fall to winter, resulting in no festival occurring within the 2011 calendar year. The winner of the 2012 festival was Courageous, a drama from the creators of Fireproof.[10]
