The BAFTA Student Awards are an annual international awards ceremony hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to celebrate and showcase the next generation of creative talent in film, games, and immersive storytelling. Initiated in 2004, the awards initially focused on film students in Southern California and have since expanded to invite submissions from over 800 schools across more than 30 countries worldwide. The competition features categories such as Animation, Live Action, Documentary, Games, and Immersive, providing a platform for student work to be reviewed by BAFTA members and industry professionals.
