Western Australia Screen Culture Awards
The Western Australia Screen Culture Awards, also known as the WA Screen Culture Awards or WASCAs, acknowledge innovation and contributions in a wide range of screen-related artistic areas, where the work was created in Western Australia or by West Australians. The awards, launched in 2020, succeed a previous West Australian screen award series, and are presented annually. Purpose 
The awards recognize outstanding innovation, independent spirit and contributions in the areas of contemporary short, feature and documentary filmmaking, television, computer games, VR, AR, gallery-based moving image, installations, projections and other intersections with screen and moving image forms, created in Western Australia, or by West Australians.

The award ceremony has taken place each year at the Luna Cinemas in Leederville. Trophies
