 The hybrid student media awards took place earlier this week in the helix on DCU's Glass Devon campus. The annual event is organised by DCU's Media Production Society and it recognises talent in DCU's student media. We have 22 categories, all under print, online, publication design, TV and radio. And yeah, it's pretty big anyway for any student to receive any award based on the work that they're doing like this. And you can see it in them how happy they really are and how happy they are for our friends to win an award. The awards see the work of journalism, communications and multimedia students being judged under 22 different categories. Categories include sports journalists of the year, photographer of the year, DJ of the year and many more. Each category is specifically judged by an individual media professional in the industry and the winning student receives a hybrid plaque or recognition. Some of this year's judges include rugby analyst Brent Pope, Martina Fitzgerald from RTE and fashion photographer Alex Hutchinson. Personally I think I'm probably out of a job within three years because they're all insanely talented and I'm actually really jealous that they didn't go to school here. I would have loved to have actually grown up even in amongst all the love that you guys have for each other and the encouragement is absolutely amazing. I never had that when I was in college, we were all assholes for each other. This is Emily Carly with DC TV News.
