LOS ANGELES, CA, Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - The Student Recognition Award being presented at the upcoming 52nd Annual Cinema Audio Society Awards will be sponsored by Michael Minkler and Zack Teperman!

Minkler, a three-time Academy Award winning sound editor and CEO of Moving Pictures Media Group, and Teperman, the President of Hollywood-based public relations firm ZTPR, are excited to help contribute a monetary donation to the winning student that will be recognized at the February 20th 2016 award ceremony in Los Angeles.

The CAS Student Recognition Award is open to any student enrolled and in good standing in a Bachelor's or Master's degree program at an accredited college or university.

This year's finalists and nominees include: Joseph Elfanbaum, Lauren Johnson, Gerrald Vazquez, Matt Yocum, and Joanna Zachariasz.

CAS President Mark Ulano states, "These talented students clearly represent the next wave of talent in our art form - the quality of their submissions has been stellar and we congratulate and welcome them to our sound family. I sincerely thank Michael and Zack for their generous contribution towards helping these students and their further education."
