BAFTA Interactive Awards

The BAFTA Interactive Awards and BAFTA Games Awards were created in 2003 by splitting the original BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Awards into two separate ceremonies.

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 [" [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3505795.stm BBC's Celebdaq wins Bafta award] " - BBC News lists 2003 winners; 20th February 2004.] , while the 2004 event took place on the 2nd of March 2005.

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. [" [http://www.bafta.org/site/webdav/shared/import/press_releases/games_080306.pdf Video Games Awards become BAFTA's 'third arm'] " - BAFTA official press release (pdf).] 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.
