| Media type(s): | Film, Television |
| Criteria: | - In previous years the category was open to international work. However, in 1998 (for films made in 1997 only) due to the dramatic increase in short film production and in order to encourage new British film makers, the award will only be open to British/UK productions. That does not affect the animated short film category.
