New Grant for Lesbian Media Artists Established: The Tee A. Corinne Prize
A new prize has been created to honor Tee A. Corinne, an artist with bold vision and a fierce dedication to encouraging and preserving lesbian art. The Tee A. Corinne Prize for Lesbian Media Artists, established by Moonforce Media, will award unrestricted grants of up to $1,000 annually. JEB (Joan E. Biren) will choose the inaugural prize winner. Application guidelines are online at http://www.jebmedia.com/5322.html. Applications are due by November 1, 2006.
The prize is for artists working in photography, film, video, digital media, new media, or any fusions of these forms and in any genre including documentary, narrative, experimental, or any other styles or combination of genres. The work may be about any subject.
Lesbian media artists are usually excluded from funding opportunities because the form and/or content of their work lie outside the bounds of traditional grantmaking. This prize furthers Tee’s wish that individual lesbian artists be financially supported to work independently and without censorship.
If you wish to add your financial support to help ensure the ongoing success of this grant, you can send a tax-exempt donation to: Moonforce Media, PO Box 13375, Silver Spring, MD 20911. All checks earmarked for the Tee A. Corinne Prize will go entirely toward funding the prize.
Moonforce Media is a non-profit 501c(3) organization that has been serving progressive communities by producing and distributing documentary films and videos since 1979. Our productions have been broadcast and used by organizers and activists in the peace, feminist and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender movements. We are dedicated to promoting social justice through media and to encouraging queer media making.

tee corinne died peacefully in her home at poppyseed, surrounded with love, gratitude, blessings, and songs from near and far. she was a bright shining star. the work that she did, in teaching, making art, writing, and publishing, changed thousands of lives. her work lives on, and she is translated to her next adventure.
she hopes she'll be allowed to keep some of the skills she learned in this one.
she was conscious of the love and light that surrounded her until the end, and she was grateful for it. now, as always, it is our responsibility to take the gifts she gave us, and put them to use, and make them count.
