The British Academy Television Craft Award for Best Emerging Talent: Fiction is one of the categories presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) within the British Academy Television Craft Awards, the craft awards were established in 2000 with their own, separate ceremony as a way to spotlight technical achievements, without being overshadowed by the main production categories. According to the BAFTA website, the category is "designed to recognise potential, awarding those who have begun to capture the attention of their peers through demonstrating exceptional talent and ambition within their craft for the first time in scripted programming."[1]
Several categories have existed to recognize breakthrough talent and new faces in the British television industry:
In 2020 it was announced that the category would be split once again for the 2021 ceremony, creating Best Emerging Talent: Fiction and Best Emerging Talent: Factual.[2]
