The awards were hosted by Cool FM presenter Pete Snodden and the judges were Tim Bryans, ALT Animation, Joanne Hall, Director and Liz Barron, NI Screen.
Afterwards, Liz Barron said “We were delighted with the high standard of the work that we saw. The future of the media industry in Northern Ireland is in good hands with these young people.
“It is brilliant to have a competition like this for all the NI colleges to compete against each other, enjoy seeing each other’s work and get a taste of what industry is looking for.”
In all there were five categories – Animation, Photography, Fiction, Factual and Music Video as well as the overall Showstopper which was won by HND Film student Eva Glenn with her atmospheric film Hear Me Out.
