BYA Awards would like to give a big shout out to John Boyega, winner of BAFTA 2016 Rising Star Award, which is the only category voted for by the public!

His role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens initially caused a stir but has now been celebrated.

Are you a Rising Star?

Nominate yourself (or someone can nominate you) in the Performing Arts category and let the world know that you are on your way!
