About BAFTA
In 1997, BAFTA had the foresight to realise the impact
Internet and multimedia technologies would have on the
entertainment industry. The result was the creation
of the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards. With
the support of Lord Puttnam, Vice-President of BAFTA,
the event has quickly grown into what is considered
to be the world's largest and most prestigious interactive
entertainment awards, recognising and rewarding creative
talent in interactivity.
