The BAFTA Awards are to many the highlight of the British Film Industry's award calendar. They reward the best work, of any nationality, seen on British cinema screens during the preceding year.
Amongst the categories is one for music and BAFTA have made a change to the Music category presented at the Orange British Academy Film Awards.
For the 2010/11 Orange British Academy Film Awards, only films in which more than 50% of the music is original composition for the film will be eligible for the Original Music Award.
Distributors, producers and BAFTA members can enter films for Film Awards consideration and every film entered will automatically be listed in all other craft categories for which it is eligible. This won’t be the case for the Original Music category, because of the threshold of originally composed music which a film must meet to be eligible.
To ensure that composers have the chance to have their work considered for the award, we have widened the entry process to allow composers to enter their own work. This can be done via an Online Entry Form on the BAFTA website. Composers will be asked to enter some basic information about the film and also submit a Music Cue Sheet to verify the percentage of original music.
The entry deadline is Thursday 18 November. After this date, the list of films entered in this category will be circulated to BAFTA’s Music Chapter to allow them an opportunity to highlight any notable omissions.
The Orange British Academy Film Awards 2011 will take place on Sunday 13 February 2011 at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden.
