What's in it for you?
Previous winners got access to funding, remote mentoring by legendary creators, prize money, and tickets for THU Events.
A unique opportunity for young creators.
Sony Talent League by THU is for creators between 18 and 30 years old. There are no limits in terms of background, as long as your idea is related to the digital entertainment industry.
Here’s how the first edition went!
It was all about breaking the creative distance!
In 2020, the word “distance” assumed a whole new meaning for people all over the globe. Suddenly, staying apart was our best chance of being together again. However, there is a distance the Sony Talent League dared participants to break: the creative one. Ideas have the strength to bring us together and fuel our creative spirit. Together, we shattered the borders of digital entertainment and went beyond boundaries, creating new value for the future and taking our creativity out of isolation.
A journey of growth for creators.
Each finalist had a project diary so the Tribe could follow this incredible journey of collaboration. You can still read them, and we hope they inspire you to make your own ideas happen and keep following your creative path!
We couldn’t be more proud of the resilience and creativity of the three finalists: Togather, Icebreakers, and Kawia’s Adventure. Thank you for documenting the process of bringing your unique ideas to life, letting us watch you grow and get stronger after every mentorship, tribe session, and accomplishment, conquering your fears and doubts as you tackled each challenge.
