We have always packed a big punch for a smaller publication, and we are hugely excited to have been shortlisted for a historic FOUR categories at the Student Publication Association (SPA) National Awards in 2023!
These are for Best Student Photographer (Reagan Yip), Best Project or Initiative (for Project Winter, with Impact Magazine), Best Sports Section, and the prestigious Best Publication!
Our history has also been award-rich. In 2020, we were named NTSU’s Society of the Year and also won Best New Publication at the Student Publication Association awards ceremony for the Midlands region. The SPA National Awards also recognised us in 2022, with a nomination for Best Magazine Design.
We’ve worked closely with local and international media, having strong links with Nottinghamshire Live and Gedling Eye, and collaborating with REFINE Magazine of Philadelphia's Temple University for coverage of the 2020 US election.
On top of all this, we're also a big social society, attending Ocean every week and having a Boat Ball every May, while we have plenty more events planned for the year too!
