Not content with their Guinness World Record for the Most Contributions to an Animated Film, the Tate Movie Project won the BAFTA in the ‘Interactive’ category of the 2011 British Academy Children’s Awards which took place on 27 November. 

These awards celebrate the very best in children’s film, television, games and online media of the past year and the talent behind their successes.  The success of the Tate Movie Project doesn’t show any sign of slowing down, with a nomination in the 2012 Broadcast Awards for the film ‘Itch of the Golden Nit’ that was the result of the project. The film has been nominated in the 'Best Children's Programme' category, in competition with well-known children's TV programmes including Horrible Histories and the Sarah Jane Adventures. These awards will be presented in February 2012.

Jane Burton, Head of Content and Creative Director, Tate said:
'Winning a BAFTA for Tate Movie Project is a brilliant reward for everyone involved in this tremendous collaboration between Tate, Aardman, the BBC and Fallon; and for the thousands of children whose creative energy, enthusiasm and ideas are at the heart of it all.'
