Television Craft Categories
26 September 07
From costume design to visual effects, from editing to photography, the British Academy Television Craft Awards reward excellence across the board.
Distinction between Factual and Fiction in the drama genre is as follows: Programmes whose drama content accounts for no more than 50% of the total and which very closely and accurately recreate specific historical events and identified individuals, should enter in the Factual categories (Director: Factual, Editing: Factual, Photography: Factual, Sound: Factual). Those which broadly represent historical events should enter in the Fiction categories.
BREAK-THROUGH TALENT
This award is not a true ‘beginner’s award’. It is designed to recognise those whose talents have come to fruition between 1 January and 31 December 2007. An entry might comprise one piece of work, or a number of programmes, each of which must have been transmitted during 2006. This Award will pay tribute to emerging talent displayed throughout any part of the behind-the-camera production process – from development through to delivery and across all genres. For more details see our dedicated Break-Through Talent Page .
