Academy Award Sci-Tech Entries Due August 1
Beverly Hills, CA - Friday (August 1) is the deadline to submit scientific and technical achievements to the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences for 76th Academy Awards consideration.
In late May, application forms were sent to more than 850 companies and individuals, including past winners, within the sci-tech
community both in the United States and abroad.
According to Awards Administration Director Rich Miller, any device, method, formula, discovery or invention of special and
outstanding value may be considered. "Notable achievements that have been both successful and instrumental in advancing the field
of motion pictures are the key factors that the committee will be looking for in the entries received," said Miller.
Technical advances submitted to the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee, chaired by Visual Effects Branch Governor Richard
Edlund, will be evaluated by subcommittees comprised of distinguished engineers, scientists and craftspersons before being
recommended to the Academy's Board of Governors for award consideration.
Information and application packets may be obtained by contacting Miller's office via phone at 310-247-3000, ext. 129; by fax at
310-859-9619; via e-mail to [email protected] or by visiting the Academy website at www.oscars.org.
