Each BAFTA Scholar receives up to £12,000 towards their annual course fees, and mentoring support from a BAFTA member and free access to BAFTA events around the UK. Since 2013, three students every year have received one of the Prince William Scholarships in Film, Television and Games, supported by BAFTA and Warner Bros.

Since 2008 the ceremony has been held at the <a href="/facts/Royal_Opera_House/ttMKVPso">Royal Opera House</a> in London's <a href="/facts/Covent_Garden/XxG9es93">Covent Garden</a>. It had been held in the <a href="/facts/Odeon_Leicester_Square/yXE21jVS">Odeon cinema</a> on Leicester Square since 2000. </p><p>Since 2017, the BAFTA ceremony has been held at the Royal Albert Hall.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26"><sup>26</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27"><sup>27</sup></a> The ceremony had been performed during April or May of each year, but beginning 2002 it has been held in February to precede the <a href="/facts/Academy_Awards/CwTxYuNQ">Academy Awards</a> (Oscars) in the United States, making the BAFTA Film Awards a major precursor of the eventual annual results of the Oscar ceremonies since. </p><p>In order for a film to be considered for a BAFTA nomination, its first public exhibition must be displayed in a cinema and it must have a UK theatrical release for no fewer than seven days of the calendar year that corresponds to the upcoming awards. A movie must be of feature-length and movies from all countries are eligible in all categories, with the exception of the <a href="/facts/BAFTA_Award_for_Best_British_Film/1hxHCPg7">Alexander Korda Award for Outstanding British Film</a> and <a href="/facts/Outstanding_Debut_by_a_British_Writer%2c_Director_or_Producer/SuP1Jdgd">Outstanding Debut</a> which are for British films or individuals only. </p> <h4>Television Awards and Television Craft Awards</h4> <p class="note">Main articles: <a href="/facts/British_Academy_Television_Awards/bgSylq5h">British Academy Television Awards</a> and <a href="/facts/British_Academy_Television_Craft_Awards/0D7cTnbI">British Academy Television Craft Awards</a></p> <p>The British Academy Television Awards ceremony usually takes place during April or May, with its sister ceremony, the <a href="/facts/British_Academy_Television_Craft_Awards/0D7cTnbI">British Academy Television Craft Awards</a>, usually occurring within a few weeks of it. </p><p>The Television Awards, celebrating the best TV programmes and performances of the past year, are also often referred to simply as "the BAFTAs" or, to differentiate them from the movie awards, the "BAFTA Television Awards". They have been awarded annually since 1954. The first ever ceremony consisted of six categories. Until 1958, they were awarded by the <a href="/facts/Guild_of_Television_Producers_and_Directors/j85zRMSa">Guild of Television Producers and Directors</a>. </p><p>From 1968 until 1997, BAFTA's Film and Television Awards were presented together, but from 1998 onwards they were presented at two separate ceremonies. </p><p>The Television Craft Awards celebrate the talent behind the programmes, such as individuals working in visual effects, production, and costume design. </p><p>Only British programmes are eligible – with the potential exception of the publicly voted Audience Award – but any <a href="/facts/Cable_television/GzXa4pbW">cable</a>, <a href="/facts/Satellite_television/UxytxnPW">satellite</a>, <a href="/facts/Analogue_television/4NJJew1c">terrestrial</a> or <a href="/facts/Digital_television/KQCyILQa">digital television</a> stations broadcasting in the UK are eligible to submit entries, as are independent production companies who have produced programming for the channels. Individual performances can either be entered by the performers themselves or by the broadcasters. The programmes being entered must have been broadcast on or between 1 January and 31 December of the year preceding the awards ceremony. </p><p>Since 2014 the "BAFTA Television Awards" have been open to TV programmes which are only broadcast online.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28"><sup>28</sup></a> </p> <h4>Games Awards</h4> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/British_Academy_Games_Awards/P4m5JpmM">British Academy Games Awards</a></p> <p>The British Academy Games Awards ceremony traditionally takes place in March, shortly after the Film Awards ceremony in February. </p><p>BAFTA first recognised video games and other interactive media at its inaugural <i><a href="/facts/BAFTA_Interactive_Entertainment_Awards/KGuawcbH">BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards</a></i> ceremony during 1998, the first major change of its rules since the admittance of television thirty years earlier. Among the first winning games were <i><a href="/facts/GoldenEye_007_(1997_video_game)/3dzwwAtU">GoldenEye 007</a></i>, <i><a href="/facts/Gran_Turismo_(1997_video_game)/GfkUPIDx">Gran Turismo</a></i> and interactive comedy <i><a href="/facts/MindGym/R8eBf3xN">MindGym</a></i>, sharing the spotlight with the <i><a href="/facts/BBC_News_Online/Th1rIwLc">BBC News Online</a></i> website which won the news category four years consecutively. These awards allowed the academy to recognise new forms of entertainment that were engaging new audiences and challenging traditional expressions of creativity. </p><p>During 2003, the sheer ubiquity of interactive forms of entertainment and the breadth of genres and types of video games outgrew the combined ceremony, and the event was divided into the <i><a href="/facts/British_Academy_Video_Games_Awards/P4m5JpmM">BAFTA Video Games Awards</a></i> and the BAFTA Interactive Awards<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29"><sup>29</sup></a> Despite making headlines with high-profile winners like <i><a href="/facts/Halo_2/Ie3k22lQ">Halo 2</a></i> and <i><a href="/facts/Half-Life_2/Ge9wJwK3">Half-Life 2</a></i> the interactive division was discontinued and disappeared from BAFTA's publicity material after only two ceremonies. </p><p>During 2006, BAFTA announced its decision "to give video games equal status with film and television", and the academy now advertises video games as its third major topic in recognition of its importance as an art form of moving images. The same year the ceremony was performed at <a href="/facts/The_Roundhouse/b1f1xhel">The Roundhouse</a> by Chalk Farm Road in <a href="/facts/North_London/fI85TwaY">North London</a> on 5 October and was televised for the first time on 17 October and was broadcast on the digital channel <a href="/facts/E4_(channel)/m7tuVNhv">E4</a>. </p><p>Between 2009 and 2019, the ceremonies have been performed at the London <a href="/facts/Hilton_Park_Lane/TzqRvtUH">Hilton Park Lane</a> and <a href="/facts/Tobacco_Dock/fq6NAcon">Tobacco Dock</a>, and have been hosted by <a href="/facts/Dara_%25C3%2593_Briain/1yWxqeN4">Dara Ó Briain</a> and <a href="/facts/Rufus_Hound/KdpwAduB">Rufus Hound</a>. In 2020, as a result of the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic/0xTsh7Ut">COVID-19 pandemic</a>, it was announced that the ceremony was changing format from a live red-carpet ceremony at the <a href="/facts/Queen_Elizabeth_Hall/4wI8ACg5">Queen Elizabeth Hall</a> in London to an online show.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30"><sup>30</sup></a> The online show was presented by <a href="/facts/Dara_%25C3%2593_Briain/1yWxqeN4">Dara Ó Briain</a> from his home and was watched by 720,000 globally.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a> In 2021 the <a href="/facts/17th_British_Academy_Games_Awards/wxW76Gk9">17th British Academy Games Awards</a> was hosted by arts and entertainment presenter Elle Osili-Wood and was watched by a global audience of 1.5 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32"><sup>32</sup></a> </p> <h4>Children's Awards</h4> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/British_Academy_Children%2527s_Awards/j6jnkqBQ">British Academy Children's Awards</a></p> <p>The British Academy Children's Awards are presented annually during November to reward excellence in the art forms of the moving image intended for children.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33"><sup>33</sup></a> They have been awarded annually since 1969 except for 2020 and 2021 due to the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic/0xTsh7Ut">COVID-19 pandemic</a>. </p><p>The academy has a history of recognising and rewarding children's programming, presenting two awards at the 1969 ceremony – The Flame of Knowledge Award for Schools Programmes and the Harlequin Award for Children's Programmes. </p><p>As of 2010<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Academy_of_Film_and_Television_Arts&action=edit">[update]</a> the Awards ceremony includes 19 categories across movies, television, video games and online content. </p><p>Since 2007 the Children's Awards have included a Kids Vote award, voted by children between seven and 14. The <a href="/facts/CBBC_(TV_channel)/coLp8mYX">CBBC</a> Me and My Movie award, a children's filmmaking initiative to inspire and enable children to make their own movies and tell their own stories, has been discontinued. </p> <h4>BAFTA Student Film Awards</h4> <p>BAFTA also hosts the annual <a href="/facts/BAFTA_Student_Film_Awards/RM3R8V5X">BAFTA Student Film Awards</a> as showcase for rising industry talent.

The Awards began in 1989 and usually take place in October/November every year. There are no awards given to specific movies or TV programmes, only to individuals.
