NaSTA 2022 award winners announced

On the 2nd of April 2022, the National Student Television Association, (NaSTA) held its annual awards show at the University of York.

Our student TV society, Leeds Student Television (LSTV), which is made up of University of Leeds students and run by members of the Leeds University Union, submitted entries for every single category of the 21 awards on offer this year despite Covid-19 related constraints.

Normally, participating organisations have a year of content to select from but on this occasion they only had six months, due to lockdown restrictions, from August 2021 to February 2022.

They have had one of their best award results yet, following on from great success at the November awards (heavily delayed due to Covid) where LSTV won Best Broadcaster in Manchester.

Here is the list of our students that have won awards this year:
