Latino, and women filmmakers having been past recipients of the top prizes.
Winners in each category receive a $2,500 cash prize, with
their films screened in a special ceremony at the DGA Theater. Winners of the jury awards in each category
receive $1,000 and screen clips of their films at the DGA.

Prize.
