The SA Emerging Cinematographer Award aims to recognise and support an emerging SA ACS member so they can pursue creative ideas and enhance their career in cinematography.

The award is supported with a cash grant from the SA branch of $1,000 and sponsored by SA ACS Gold Sponsor Picture Hire with a generous camera package for up to three consecutive days to the value of $5,000  (T&C’s apply). We anticipate this Award will give the recipient access to a better camera and lens package than they normally could afford.

The cash grant could be used to hire extra gear for the shoot, used to complete a course to further their education, or on something else to advance their career. Only financial SA ACS Active members of one year or more may apply. Submissions from applicants for this award will only be accepted from July 1 to July 14.

Some of the criteria we are looking for in your submissions include:
– a bio of your career including what education or training you may have had
– any mentors you may have had, or those who have been influential in your career
– how has your cinematography improved and why
– what awards, if any, have you won
– provide files or links to some of your best cinematography
– if known, what would you use the Camera package prize and the cash prize for?

The winner will be chosen by a select panel of 5 of the SA committee and will be presented at our annual State ACS Awards for Cinematography.
