Carrdiff Student Media Awards 2007 · Issue 842, by Samantha Shillabeer

Cardiff students donned their dresses and suits for the Cardiff Student Media Awards 2007 last Saturday.

The awards, held at the Hilton Hotel, saw members of gair rhydd, Quench, Xpress, The Photographic Society and The Film Society all gathered under one roof to celebrate the various achievements of Cardiff University’s media.

Hosted by Lizo Mzimba of Newsround fame, with a champagne reception and a four-course meal, the evening was a great success for everyone involved.

In all, 32 categories were judged by industry leaders such as Channel 4’s Jon Snow.

The ceremony was rounded off with the three heads of Cardiff Media giving their views on the year gone by.

Syd Lawrence, Sophie Robehmed and Perri Lewis gave emotional and engaging speeches in what was one of the highlights of the night.

After the ceremony was finished it was off to CF10 for the after-party. There were cheers all round when Lizo was persuaded to accompany us: the perfect end to an amazing night.
