The University Initiative Sony Camera Contest 2025

With support from Sony, we're giving YOU the chance to win a Sony FX3 camera or a Sony Alpha 7 IV video camera in a celebratory contest that marks the launch of our new University Initiative!

Video Consortium's University Initiative empowers college students studying documentary, video journalism, or nonfiction visual media across the United States with hands-on training, mentorship, and community-building opportunities to launch successful nonfiction video careers.

Applications close March 30, 2025, and contest winners will be announced April 2025.

Our University Initiative's Spring 2025 programming is made possible by Sony.
