Outstanding Original Song for a Dramatic
or Documentary Visual Media Production
Outstanding Original Song for a Comedy

The David Raskin Award for Emerging Talent
Entries are judged by member composers and songwriters who understand not only the craft, but also the pressure on media music creators to deliver their finest work.
These are the only awards of their kind, where throughout the voting process the selection of nominees and winners are chosen solely by music creators.
DAVID RAKSIN AWARD FOR EMERGING TALENT
Open to all voting and Associate members who have never previously been nominated for an OSCAR®, EMMY®, GRAMMY®, TONY®, BAFTA®, GOLDEN GLOBE® or SCL Award®. Both score and song entries are eligible in this category as created for the accompanying visual images, or in the case of songs, as the first music cue in the end credit sequence of a production. On-camera performances of an original work are eligible.
SPIRIT OF COLLABORATION AWARD
Determined by the SCL Board of Directors, this lifetime achievement award will be presented to a composer and a filmmaker who have had an enduring and distinguished creative partnership, representing a significant body of work.
Submissions open on Friday, October 8, 2021
and close on Tuesday, November 30, 2021.
