</b><br>
Production houses, students, game developers, educational resource
developers, independent film makers, documentary makers, animators,
multimedia developers… anyone who has produced anything for the screen
is encouraged to enter the 2009 <i>EnhanceTV </i>ATOM Awards. Entries from Australia and New Zealand are welcome.<br>
<br>
This year, the ATOM Awards program will recognise and celebrate
excellence, featuring thirty six awards across three categories -
Student, Educational / Vocational and General.<br>
<br>
<b>Entries for the 2009 <i>EnhanceTV</i> ATOM Awards will close at 12pm on Monday 15 June, 2009.<br>
<br>
</b>Awards will be presented to the most outstanding entrants at the 2009 <i>EnhanceTV</i> ATOM Awards Gala Presentation, held in the Plaza Ballroom at the Regent Theatre on Friday 23 October, 2009. <br>
<br>
The judging panels for the 2009 <i>Enhance TV </i>ATOM Awards will
include a number of film and multimedia industry specialists as well as
a number of judges representing a ‘sample’ of the target audience in
certain sections – for example teachers and children in the Best
Children’s Television Series and Primary School categories.<br>
<br>
This year, <b>screenings</b> of selected finalist work will be held at
Federation Square in Melbourne, and also venues in Adelaide, Sydney and
regional areas. There is no better way to have student’s work viewed
in public, right alongside professional work.<br>
