The British Academy Television Craft Awards are given out by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). They are informally known as the BAFTA TV Craft Awards. Having previously been handed out with the British Academy Television 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.[1] The main Television Awards are held in late May, and are the UK equivalent to the Emmy Award in the United States. The TV Craft awards are usually held around two weeks before the BAFTA TV Awards.

Initially there was just one single BAFTA TV Craft Award for Best Writer. This award was split into two separate categories (Writer: Comedy and Writer: Drama) starting with the 2013 ceremony, to recognise the differences in writing for comedy and drama programmes on television.[2]
