The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland won half the prizes on offer at RTS Scotland’s Student Television Awards at the end of April. 

Students from the Glasgow arts academy took home the Drama award for What Separates Us From the Beast and triumphed in four of the Craft Skills categories, including the new Writing prize, which was won by Robin Boreham for Incoming Tide.

The University of Glasgow entered the awards for the first time and scooped the Short Form prize for War Museum. Edinburgh College of Art (Animation), Glasgow Clyde College (Comedy and Entertainment and Craft Skills – Editing) and the University of Stirling (Factual) won the other awards.

“The judges were greatly impressed by the high standard and ambition of this year’s submissions,” said James Wilson, Chair of RTS Scotland’s Student Television Awards.

The ceremony was hosted by STV News entertainment reporter Laura Boyd and comedy duo Link and Lorne at the Argyle Street Arches in Glasgow.

Simon Pitts, CEO of STV, which sponsored the awards added: “It’s a hugely exciting time for Scotland’s creative industries. By supporting new talent we can ensure Scotland remains at the forefront of creativity.

“Beyond tonight, my colleagues at STV will offer mentoring for the winners to support their entry into this vibrant industry.”
