BAFTA Interactive Awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BAFTA Interactive Awards and BAFTA Games Awards were created in 2003 by splitting the original BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards into two separate ceremonies.[1]
While the previous ceremonies had been annually hosted each October since 1998, the 2003 Interactive Awards weren't held until February 19th of the following year[2], while the 2004 event took place on the 2nd of March 2005.[3]
In March 2006, BAFTA issued a press release announcing that "Video Games are as Important as Film and Television", and reinstated the Games Awards to the traditional October slot.[4] No mention of Interactive Awards was made, and all traces of the ceremony vanished shortly afterwards when BAFTA's website was reorganised, making it the shortest running event in BAFTA's history.[5]
