The Digital Entertainment Group is pleased to announce the eighth annual "Hedy Lamarr Achievement Award for Emerging Leaders in Entertainment Technology." The Award (up to $10,000) recognizes a female college student in their junior year whose studies in the fields of entertainment and technology have shown exceptional promise.
Austrian-American actress Hedy Lamarr, a Hollywood legend, was also a lifelong inventor whose innovative work included pioneering "frequency hopping" which became the foundation for radio guidance which she and composer George Antheil patented in 1942, and is utilized today for a variety of cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth applications.
To help us honor Ms. Lamarr and women who may follow in her footsteps by achieving entertainment and technological advancements, the DEG is reaching out to a small number of academic institutions that we believe offer areas of study supporting the amalgamation of entertainment and technology.
The application deadline is Friday, March 29, 2024.
You can find a link to the application here, and it is also attached for your convenience. More information is available on our website: degonline.org.
Please feel free to contact meegan@degonline.org if you have questions or would like more information about the Awards Program or application process.
We greatly appreciate your consideration.
