The event recognises the work and talent of young people studying media and associated subjects in local further and education colleges.
Employment and Learning Minister Dr Stephen Farry presented the awards on the night. Minister Farry said ‘The creative media industry is of growing importance to Northern Ireland and we need to encourage and develop the creative talent of our students to achieve further success in this economically important sector. This event is proof that collaboration between industries and our educational establishments is encouraging the innovative approaches which provide the knowledge, skills, research and development that are fundamental to our economy’s future success.’
RTS NI aspires to bring together the creative industries in Northern Ireland - not exclusive to broadcasting - to explore and debate the issues currently facing the industry while also inspiring the next generation.
