Every year, we offer two prizes of $2,500 each to both an undergraduate student and a graduate student from any university in the state of New York. By the deadline of Monday, November 17th, applicants should submit two reviews, one for a film from the current calendar year (2025), one for a film from before 1980. Word count of 500-800 words per piece. We will read through the entries and choose the two best. Winners will receive the cash prize in the form of a check, along with an awards scroll and two tickets to our annual gala, to be held this year on Tuesday, January 6th at TAO Downtown in Manhattan.

Please let your student body know about the prize, and direct all questions and entries to Keith Uhlich, at [email protected]
