British Video Association


The British Video Association is a video home entertainment organisation established in 1980. Its members include the BBC and Hollywood studios. The Association organises an annual awards ceremony in London. In 2003, the BVA reported a 61% increase of DVD sales alongside a tripling in the illegal downloading of film and television files. In 2010 the Association publicised the fact that around six million people in the UK had failed to acquire a High Definition signal for HD ready Television sets.
In 2016 the BVA changed its name to the British Association for Screen Entertainment.
