The prestigious CINE Golden Eagle Award was created as the method to choose films for submission to the overseas festivals, and the CINE Golden Eagle Competition eventually expanded to include student, independent, narrative and television productions. In the mid­1990s ​
CINE’s partnership with the State Department ceased, and the Golden Eagle Awards were presented as a symbol of peer­reviewed media excellence rather than as a conduit to foreign film festivals. ​
Beginning in 2014, CINE now presents the Golden Eagle Awards in three annual cycles: The CINE Golden Eagle Awards for Professional Media (now accepting entries, deadline January 30, 2015), the CINE Golden Eagle Awards for Independent & Emerging Media (opening January 2, 2015), and the CINE Golden Eagle Awards for Student & Youth Media (opening May 1, 2015). CINE Golden Eagle Award­winning alumni are working throughout the industry. For some, such as ​
Steven Spielberg​
(1969) and ​
Ken Burns​
(1981), it was their first major industry recognition; others, such as ​
Martin Scorsese​
(2006), ​
Barbara Kopple ​
(1992) and ​
Spike Lee ​
(1999) were honored well into their illustrious careers. In 2012, CINE launched its first Film Scoring Competition for Emerging Composers, renamed in 2014 as the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Contest for Emerging Composers. ##END##
