History

The annual British Academy Scotland Awards were launched in 2004 to recognise outstanding achievement by individuals working in the Film and Television industry in Scotland. A long list of potential nominees is put to a popular vote of BAFTA Scotland members. A jury of industry professionals vote for the overall winner from the short list created by the members. A members of the BAFTA Scotland Committee will chair each of the juries.[1]

The awards were cancelled in 2010 and prizes at the 2011 ceremony given for films released over the previous 2 years.[2]

Over the years the annual event has taken place at various locations including the Glasgow City Halls and the Glasgow Science centre. From 2011 it has been held at the Radison Blu Hotel in Glasgow.[3]

In 2015, the British Academy Scotland Award trophy was redesigned by Scottish designer Oliver J. Conway who was an apprentice of the original trophy designer, Allan Ross.[4]
