Media Awards 2022: The Nominations

The nominations are in for the Media Awards 2022!

The ceremony is in two weeks and will be the first in-person Media Awards since 2019. We've had an incredibly difficult job finalising the nominations - the quality level at both GCSE and A Level is superb and there has been a lot of very good work that hasn't made the cut.

If you haven't been before, the Media Awards is our Oscars-style ceremony where we award trophies for the best Media coursework at GCSE and A Level. It's a major event in the Greenford calendar and tickets have completely sold out whenever we have run the event in the past. The details for this year's awards:


Date: Tuesday 5 July
Time: 6pm - 8pm
Tickets: £5


Tickets will go on sale on Monday 27 June (exclusive presale for Media students) before tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 29 June.

Remember - you need to be quick. The event sold out in just four days when it last took place in 2019!
