The Break-Through Talent Award

26 April 10

Presented at the Television Craft Awards, the Academy’s Break-Through Talent Award recognises the outstanding new talent of individuals working behind the camera.

Our Break-Through Talent Award pays tribute to an individual whose emerging talents have come to fruition in the last year. Not a true 'beginner's award', it is designed to recognise talent displayed in any part of the behind-the-camera production process - from development through to delivery and across all genres.

Presented annually at the British Academy Television Craft Awards entries might comprise one piece of work or a number of programmes, each of which must have been transmitted during the previous year.
