@quest_radio won Event of the Year for their National Music Training Day, which included a Networking Fair, and lectures where attendees learnt from industry experts. It was an insightful day for the Quest community, giving their members a chance to speak to professionals! π

The Online Award went to @ThePrintQM who moved fully online this year in a bid for sustainability and made great use of online advertising. Their podcast created episodes dedicated to liberation campaigns and now has a dedicated podcast editor to ensure high quality content. π
The Most Improved Outlet of the Year was without a doubt @PEACHqmul!
They have grown their membership and presence on campus, produced multiple print runs, launched a brand new online blog, and held several events like open mic nights and creative workshops!
Well done π
