The following information outlines the Awards’ entry and voting procedures:
ELIGIBILITY
Entries are invited for the British Academy Television Craft Awards from cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcasters and independent production companies. All programmes in contention must have had their original transmission in the UK between January 1 2007 - December 31 2007.
VOTING PROCEDURE
The TV-voting constituency of the Academy casts its votes online, for all those programmes entered according to the aforementioned criteria. Those programmes which have attracted the most votes from the Academy membership are then put up for further scrutiny by category juries specially selected by the Academy Television Committee.
Each jury, which consists of nine individuals (with a quorum of seven) aims to be balanced in age, sex, experience, ethnicity and in broadcasting allegiances, with a track record of achievement in the genre and with no direct association with a short-listed programme. It must also comprise a real level of expertise within the category. These juries decide upon the four nominations and the winner of the Awards.
AWARDS IN THE GIFT OF COUNCIL
Suggested recipients of the Gift of Council Special Awards for outstanding contribution are put forward by the Academy's Television Committee for consideration by the Academy's Council.
There are no nominations for these awards, nor are they voted for by the Academy membership. The number of Gift of Council awards presented each year is at the discretion of the Academy.
