Sydney prize is a multi-faceted competition that rewards talented individuals with the opportunity to further their careers. Whether it’s for writing, sports, or science, there are a variety of categories to choose from. Each one has its own specifications and requirements, so it’s important to read the fine print before applying. Often, Sydney prizes come with additional benefits, such as funding or scholarships.
The Event Cinemas Rising Talent Award recognises an emerging NSW-based creative working in short film with a cash prize of $7,000.
