National Student Journalism Awards shortlist announced

This year's shortlist for the National Student Journalism Awards has been announced. The Awards, which are run by the NUS in association with the Daily Mirror, have a long history of recognising some of the hottest up-and-coming talent in the industry, and many previous winners have gone on to careers in professional journalism.

This year, as in previous years, the awards have been hotly contested by York and Leeds, which have ten and five nominations respectively. Both are again up for the most prestigious award – that for the best student newspaper.

Many of the other usual suspects are also in the running this year. You can find a full list of nominees below, with last year's winners and runners-up underlined. This year's winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on Saturday 13th November.
