Category changes

The academy announced the creation of two categories for the 2025 edition:[1]

  • As with their film counterpart, the television awards have created categories specifically for content designed for audiences aged 16 and under, replacing the British Academy Children's Awards. Therefore, two television categories were created: Children's Scripted and Children's Non-Scripted. The former for scripted drama or comedy content either live-action or animation, and the latter for non-scripted such as factual, factual entertainment, documentary and news.

Non-competitive awards
