Sydney Prize is a monthly award for journalism that exposes social injustice. It honors journalists, writers and public figures who pursue justice and promote the common good. The winner receives a cash prize of $10,000. The prize is sponsored by the Sidney Hillman Foundation, a private foundation that supports journalists and other individuals who investigate and report on issues of social injustice. The competition is open to journalists and non-journalists, in the United States and Canada. The prize is awarded to reporters who uncover stories of social injustice, including those related to abortion bans, racial and economic inequality, and police misconduct.

The Sidney Myer Performing Arts Awards were presented each year by the Sydney Opera House and were designed to recognise and reward artistic excellence in the performance arts. The awards were decided by a panel of independent judges. Each award was based on past achievement, but also took into account the potential of a performer to contribute to Australian culture in years to come.

Each of the Sydney Film Festival’s major awards is presented with its signature mesmeric swirl award, designed and made in Sydney by Dinosaur Designs. All of the Festival’s awards are judged by independent and experienced professionals. The judges are drawn from a range of backgrounds, including filmmakers, artists and curators, and are selected for their knowledge and experience in the field.

All prize winners receive a cash award and their work will be published in Overland, Australia’s leading travel journal. The winning entry will be considered for the 2024 Neilma Sidney Short Story Prize, a separate award run by Overland, which seeks excellent short fiction (up to 3000 words) themed around the notion of ‘travel’.

The prize is named in honour of the distinguished scholar of English literature and history who devoted much of his life to studying Middle English. It is intended primarily to stimulate the study of Old and Middle English, but it is not restricted to those topics. The Prize is funded by donations from former students and colleagues of Philip Sidney Ardern.

The Animal Law & Policy Program awards, annually, up to two prizes to Harvard Law School students who write the best papers in the field of Animal Law and Policy or in a field that directly addresses laws affecting animals (e.g. Environmental Law, Food Law, International Law). Papers may be written in conjunction with a course, seminar, clinic, graduate degree program or as an independent research project. The judges reserve the right to share the prize.
