Sinéad Rocks, Managing Director, Nations and Regions at Channel 4 serves as chair of the RTS Student Television awards this year, and a new ‘Sustainability’ category also been added - encouraging students to stimulate action on matters related to the natural world and its essential value within their submissions.

Sinéad Rocks said: “The RTS Student Television Awards have a proven track record in discovering and nurturing the next generation of world-class talent in video production, film making and television journalism. They provide a fantastic opportunity to have your ambition and creativity recognised and celebrated by top media professionals and, crucially, for you to sell your skills to people at the very top of the broadcasting industry. Put simply, winning an RTS Student TV Award is a real badge of honour on any CV and one that is taken incredibly seriously by professionals. This year, we have expanded our categories to provide even more opportunities for you to showcase your talent, and I would encourage anyone considering a career in the broadcasting sector to seize the chance to show us what you’ve got!”
