Camera, lights, action! It's the Student Media Awards!

Our annual Student Media Awards took place this week and what a night it was. 14 prizes were up for grabs for the 41 nominees, plus a surprise 'Media Team of the Year' Award, presented by the VP of Campaigns and Communications.

Islay Grant the VP for Campaigns and Communications said: “it was amazing to celebrate all of the fantastic work that our student media teams have achieved over the past year. They work so hard to support SU activities such as Roses and the FTO elections, whilst developing their skill sets, making friends and making themselves more employable”

Misbah Ashraf the Head of Marketing & Organisational Development said: “The Students’ Union are passionate about supporting out student media groups and helping people to grow, find their interests and build great futures whether it be in the media industry or whatever there chosen profession post-university. I’m so proud of each and every member of our Student Media Teams who volunteers and works incredibly hard all year around.”

 

The event was a celebration of every media team's hard work and dedication over the last year, as each and every member has volunteered their time to provide an invaluable service to the student body. From hard hitting political pieces to relentless Roses coverage and everything in-between, we'd like to thank everyone involved as the University would not be the same without you!

Congratulations to all of our 2019 award winners!
