Sydney Prize is a prestigious award given to people who have made significant contributions to society. These awards are designed to honor their efforts and serve as inspiration for others. The Sydney Prize is given in a number of different areas, including the arts and science. There are several requirements that must be met in order to qualify for a Sydney prize. This article will explore the history of the prize and its requirements.
The Sydney Film Prize is one of the most coveted prizes in Australia for filmmakers. It is awarded to the most audacious, cutting-edge and courageous film in the Official Competition line-up at the Sydney Film Festival. The prize is valued at $100,000, and the winner will receive a cash prize along with a trophy. The event is held annually in Sydney and is endorsed by FIAPF, the international film governing body.
Founded in 2000 by alumnus Sidney Iwanter, the prize commemorates the passing of intellectual curiosity from one generation to another. Iwanter’s own inquisitive spirit led him to secretly record the lectures of his professor, Harvey Goldberg, which he later donated to UW-Madison (the lectures can be heard on the Web). The prize is intended to celebrate intellectual curiosity and the value of passing knowledge from one generation to the next.
This prize honours the best paper written by a graduate student or recent PhD in the field of history of religions. The prize is generously sponsored by the law firm of Roberts & Holland in memory of the late Sidney Edelstein, an expert on the history of dyes and founder of Dexter Chemical Corporation. The paper should make a significant contribution to its field and contribute to the study of religion more generally.
Each year, the Sydney Peace Prize is awarded to a person or organisation who has demonstrated leadership in promoting “peace with justice”, human rights and non-violence. The prize is named after Sir Sydney Cox, a founder of the Australian Society for Philosophy and Ethics and one of the first philosophers in this country to promote an ethical and socially responsible approach to politics.
The Neilma Sidney Short Story Prize is a literary prize for young writers, run by Overland magazine. The prize is worth $1500 and is open to new and emerging Australian writers. The judges will be looking for a work that captures the voice and experience of a marginalised or vulnerable identity. The submission process is free and open to all Australians.
Each year the Sydney Prize is awarded to a nominee who has promoted “peace with justice”, human rights and not violence, as well as an understanding of the importance of diversity. This year the prize was won by the Black Lives Matter movement, a US-based group founded by Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi after the 2013 shooting of black teenager Trayvon Martin. The Sydney Peace Prize is supported by the Australian government and private donors.
