EE is proud to be a long-standing partner of BAFTA’s Film Awards, championing creativity for more than a decade. Through this partnership, EE has used its award-winning network to work alongside BAFTA in connecting people to the moments, stories and opportunities that matter most. Since 2013, the EE Rising Star Award has recognised the brightest emerging acting talent, as voted for by the British public. And in 2025 EE and BAFTA launched Set The Stage, a nationwide initiative giving young people the mentorship, tools and platform to explore their curiosities, discover their passions and share stories through film.

“For over a decade, EE has proudly partnered with BAFTA to give film fans a voice through the only award voted for by the British public, the EE Rising Star Award. Over that time, nominees and winners have gone on to inspire audiences worldwide and shape the future of cinema. As the industry evolves, it has never been more important to celebrate the film industry and support the next generation of storytellers. It’s a privilege to stand alongside BAFTA in recognising the talent of today, while creating opportunities for the voices of tomorrow.”
