Student media awards share out the prizes

THE prizes were distributed pretty evenly around various Scots colleges last night, at an awards ceremony celebrating, among other things, television, radio and digital projects completed by students.

The climax of a two-day festival in Glasgow, the awards were hosted by Creative Loop, which describes its role as “bridging the gap between Scotland’s creative media industry and education”.
