Kieran Doherty, Chair of RTS NI said: “The RTS NI Student Television Awards are the most respected and sought after educational media awards in Northern Ireland. This is the fifth year of these awards and the standard gets higher each time, highlighting the exceptional talent emerging from our third level colleges.
“As an educational charity these awards help the RTS to raise awareness of the growing
success and innovation of the creative industries as well as providing students with a high profile platform to showcase their work. We are very proud of the strong relationship we have built up with the local colleges, which play a vital role in ensuring our future talent graduate with the necessary skills so they are ready to start work in this exciting and growing industry.”
Judith Hill, said: “These awards offer talented media students across Northern Ireland the opportunity to showcase their work to some of the industry’s biggest names. Winning an RTS NI Student Television Award will give these winners a high profile within the industry and a prestigious accolade to help them with their future careers.”
