Two short films and one documentary by the WA Screen Academy have been nominated in the 2011 ATOM Awards. In addition, John Rapsey, Director of the Screen Academy, has been nominated for the second consecutive time for the prestigious ATOM Teacher of the Year Award.
The Australian Teachers of Media established the awards in 1982 to promote media education and screen literacy. The ATOMs are the only national awards in which the work of the tertiary programs from across the country are judged alongside each other.
