Sony Electronics Launches Competition For Female Filmmakers, Photographers

Sony Electronics, which runs its U.S. operations out of San Diego, says it has launched a contest that will award $21,000 in project budget and up to $5,000 in Sony gear to female photographers and filmmakers. According to the company, its Alpha Female Creator-in-residence Program is aimed at helping advance the careers of female photographers and filmmakers. The competition is in its second year. Last year, Sony said it selected five women for its program. In addition to the funding and equipment, Sony said it helps connect winners with a group of female mentors. The program is a "virtual" program, rather than a physical location.
