Winners

The awards, for both news and current affairs, seek to recognise creative and excellent journalism by organisations whose broadcasts are transmitted on a UK based platform or who create online video content from a UK production base. 

On the last evening in January, nominees, lecturers and various professionals from across the industry met in Cottiers theatre in Glasgow's West End to celebrate Scotland’s burgeoning talent and congratulate the winners of the 2018 RTS Scotland Student Television Awards.

The ceremony was hosted by Glasgow’s very own queen of comedy Karen Dunbar, who kept the crowd roaring with laughter from beginning to end - pausing only to applaud each of the winners and nominees for their outstanding entries.

On January 31st, RTS Wales Centre held an Industry Day event in conjunction with the Film and TV School Wales/University of South Wales.  The day included a conference to celebrate and discuss the future of TV in Wales, an industry fair, networking opportunities, and masterclasses.

The day concluded with the RTS Wales Centre Student Television Awards, presented by Daniel Glyn, which were held in the Atrium Theatre.  (Picture above tweeted by USW Create. Used with permission.)
