BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) annually hosted the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards[1][2] for multimedia entertainment between 1998 and 2003.

In 2003 BAFTA announced the award would be split into two separate ceremonies - BAFTA Interactive Awards and BAFTA Games Awards - to take place in February the following year.[3]

The 2004 ceremonies were held on the 1st and 2 March 2005, after which the Interactive Awards were quietly retired, leaving only the Games Awards to return in October 2006.
