York Student Television (YSTV) has been shortlisted for the 2010 National Student Television Awards.
They are nominated for Best Live Show for the live portion of last term’s York Come Dancing.
Campus “celebrities” such as Emily Scott and Lewis Bretts were paired up with dancers from York Dancesport to compete and raise money for RAG.The competition, succeeded in raising over £1,000.
Current LGBT Officer and Welfare election candidate Peter Warner-Medley was the winner, impressing both the judges and the audience with his jive. He danced alongside Abi Wilson, a member of Dancesport.
The NASTA awards will take place at the University of Glasgow from the 26th to the 28th of March. The winners will be revealed at a black tie dinner and awards ceremony in Glasgow’s Oran Mor.
Assistant Production Director Alex Balmer told Vision that YSTV has also submitted several other entries, such as their comedy show “Man Man” and their coverage of the Battle of the Bands in the Open Category.
The station has high hopes for victory, and they have in previous years won Best Live Show as well as Best Broadcast. However, they do face steep competition from student TV stations including, among others, Bath, Cardiff and Leeds.
What a ridiculous story, they nominated themselves you fools
lol
Yeah but surely not everybody who nominates themselves gets shortlisted. At least not in any awards system I’ve ever seen.
I’m pretty certain that Dance Revolution is correct – what kind of a competition would it be if everybody who nominated themselves got shortlisted? That’s the idea of a “shortlist” oh dear, it’s a shortened down list of candidates thought to be good enough out of the people who have nominated themselves. Looks like you’re the fool!
Pity I can’t use a red pen on a website.
YSTV has not been shortlisted. Nasta does not do a shortlist. All the entries are sent to the judges with the results released on the awards night. See comments on the Nasta Facebook wall at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=2210222141
Each student TV station can enter a show in to each category. So they have nominated all their own entries.
Previously YSTV have won Highly Commended (i.e. 2nd place) Best Broadcaster which is an edit of all their programmes from the past year. Their entry for this year can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=335545386330 (great if you want to see the physics building explode!)
Do you know they face steep competition? Have Vision looked at all the entries? Don’t think so! (Doubt anyone has since they arent published together anywhere)
Pity about the lack of research that has gone in to this, but nice to see that the campus media is supporting each other (like the fact that YSTV videos for elections are on the Vision website and not just in use by Nouse).
Just as @Corrections says.
+ I would recccommend watching their video, tis a shame we don’t see more of them!
+ Why did vision suddenly pick up on this?
