The Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards are proud to partner with the Alliance for Women Film Composers
Visit the AWFC website at www.theawfc.com.
Through advocacy, support and education, the Alliance for Women Film Composers aims to increase the visibility of women composers active in media scoring. The AWFC advocates for the inclusion of women composers within industry events; supports filmmakers, game developers and studios in their inclusion of women composers; and educates, mentors and inspires emerging women composers. Today, our efforts are inclusive of many gender categories that include women and femme identities. We advocate for women composers, transwomen composers, femme-identifying composers, and composers who are gender non-binary and gender queer in our efforts and advocacy. Our organization was founded by and for women composers.
