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.
The Award in 2009 was won by Daniel Vernon for his work as director and producer on The Man Who Eats Badgers (Wonderland), a BBC documentary series dealing with everyday dramas.
