DGA Film Awards

For more than two decades, the Student Film Awards have spotlighted dozens of African American, Asian American, Latino, and Women filmmakers. Winners of the DGA Student Film Awards in each category receive a $2,500 prize from the DGA and their films are screened in a special ceremony at the DGA Theater. The winners of the jury awards in each category receive $1,000 and screen clips of their films at the DGA.
