Films must be entered for consideration by the film’s distributor or producer, or by a BAFTA film voting member.
Films must be entered via the online entry forms here:
Once an Entry Form has been submitted, the film’s Distributor will be asked to complete a Screen Credits Form. Alternatively, the film’s Producer may complete the Screen Credits Form.
On-screen credits are used to determine eligibility in all categories. The form must be completed in full and submitted accompanied by the film’s final opening and closing credit roll and the poster credit block. Additional supporting materials may be required for entries in some categories.
Any Screen Credits Forms received after the stated deadline will not be accepted. If the film's Producer or Distributor does not complete a form, BAFTA cannot guarantee the accuracy of credits listed for voting.
Short Film and Short Animation Entry
Entry for Short Film and Short Animation categories require completion of separate entry forms:

If an entered film is withdrawn after the final Entered Films List is issued to members and voting begins then it cannot be entered in any subsequent year, even if its release date has changed.
