THE Royal Television Society’s (RTS) Scotland Centre last night crowned the winners of its Student Television Awards for 2022.
The winners were unveiled at a glittering ceremony at St Luke’s, Glasgow, sponsored by STV and The Nerve. The event was hosted by STV News entertainment reporter, Laura Boyd.
The RTS Scotland Student Awards celebrate the best audiovisual work created by students at undergraduate and postgraduate level in nine categories across Animation, Comedy and Entertainment, Drama, Factual, Production design, Editing, Sound, Camerawork, and Writing.
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland led the way with a total of four wins for its students, including two awards for documentary, ‘The Space I Occupy’.
Both the University of the West of Scotland and City of Glasgow College took home two wins each.
Stephen O’Donnell, chair of RTS Scotland, said: “This year’s RTS Scotland Student Awards highlighted the incredible filmmaking talent that continues to flow through Scotland’s universities and colleges.
“All the winners and nominees brought something unique to the table, and it’s safe to say each category was hotly-contested.
“RTS Scotland is delighted to be giving a platform to these exceptional pieces of work and supporting Scotland’s young creatives into the TV industry. A huge congratulations once again to all of this year’s winners, and I look forward to seeing them picking up more RTS awards in the years to come.”
Laura Boyd, STV News entertainment reporter, added: “This ceremony has always been one of my favourites to host and it was particularly special this year as we were able to do it in person again.
“I was blown away by the talent in the room, and after seeing some intriguing taster clips from each of the films, I can’t wait to watch them all in full on STV Player. Bravo to the Class of 2022!”
All of the nominated and winning films, as well as highlights of the ceremony, will be available to stream soon on STV Player.
