A long list of potential nominees is put to a popular vote of BAFTA Scotland members. A jury of industry professionals vote for the overall winner from the short list created by the members. A members of the BAFTA Scotland Committee will chair each of the juries.[1]
The awards were cancelled in 2010 and prizes at the 2011 ceremony given for films released over the previous 2 years.[2]
Over the years the annual event has taken place at various locations including the Glasgow City Halls and the Glasgow Science centre.[3] From 2011 to 2018 the event was held at the Radison Blu Hotel in Glasgow. As of 2019, the ceremony has been hosted at the Doubletree by Hilton Glasgow Central.
