Stirling and Edinburgh dominate RTS Scotland Student Television Awards

Edinburgh took home the Entertainment and Comedy Drama and Drama prizes, while Stirling triumphed in the Animation and Factual categories. Both institutions also won two Craft Skills awards.

Sarah Stables from New College Lanarkshire’s Cumbernauld Campus took the other prize, the Craft Skills: Writing award, for Falsehood.

“We were blown away by the incredible talent displayed by students,” said Stephen O’Donnell, Chair of RTS Scotland. “The fact that the quality of the work submitted to us seems to get better and better every year is an encouraging sign that the future of TV production in Scotland is in very
good hands.”

The ceremony was hosted by STV News entertainment reporter Laura Boyd at Saint Luke’s in the East End of Glasgow on 23 March.
