Award presented annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts
The British Academy Television Craft Award for Best Sound: 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.
Before splitting into two categories for sound in 1992, Best Sound: Fiction (Best Sound: Fiction/Entertainment from 1992 to 2012) and Best Sound: Factual , two categories were presented to recognize sound in television programming:
From 1978 to 1991 Best Sound Supervisor was presented.
