A record 27 entries were received from six universities and colleges in the region.

The Factual: Short Form award went to Tom Box’s Dancing Minds, which the judges admired for its “contemporary visual style.… We really got to know the young people and their concerns.”

DISC by Kian Radford and Olin Quigley Daly won the Journalism award. The judges were moved by the “heart-breaking sound bites” from contributors, which revealed a little-seen view of the picturesque town of Newquay.

The Potential of Crab Aquaculture – “a well-constructed [film] with a very clear narrative, showcased with beautiful cinematic imagery” – took home the Saving the Planet prize for a team of University of Plymouth students.

Falmouth University students won the Animation (Scenes of the Absurd) and Drama (Tipsy Sugar Flipping) awards; the Entertainment and Comedy Drama prize went to Arts University Plymouth for More Than Friends.
