RTS Student Television Awards 2008 - Open for Entries!
The Student Television Awards 2008 have been launched and entries are now being accepted! The awards recognise work that shows outstanding visual and aural creativity, mastery of craft skills, innovation and initiative.
The awards, handed out by the Royal Television Society, will honour both BTEC/Undergraduate and Postgraduate students in each of the following categories:
- Animation
- Factual
- Drama
- Entertainment/Factual Entertainment
Attached below are the full criteria, conditions of entry and entry form for the Student Television Awards 2008.
Criteria and Entry Form - Student Television Awards 2008
You are encouraged to pass this onto any colleagues or students who you think may like to enter.
Please note: entries should be submitted directly to the Royal Television Society at the address provided in the attachment.
Judges will look in particular for freshness, originality and audience appeal within the constraints of the law and broadcasting practice. Bearing originality in mind, the factual juries are not looking for copies of existing types of programming. Television being primarily a broadcast medium, it is essential that entrants should keep this in mind. Multimedia entries will be accepted as long as they fit the above criteria.
In the BTEC/Undergraduate categories, Regional Award winners will be announced by the RTS Regional Centres in the Winter of 2008 and these winners will qualify for assessment for the National RTS Student Television Awards to be presented at a ceremony in Spring 2009. Entries in the Postgraduate categories will qualify automatically for National assessment.
Following the success of the recent RTS Masterclasses, there is another set planned, along with the Awards Ceremony, for May 2009. To ensure you do not miss out when booking details are sent out next year, contact Event Organiser Emma Brown at emma@rts.org.uk, to be added to the mailing list.
Good luck to all 2008 entrants!
