Short & sweet . So do you think TN will wipe the board again this year?

King.Penguin

There are several still to come it seems. The intro to that page says how the rest should be up in the next few days.

Andrew 83

They're having the awards a lot earlier this year. It was around the 26th April last year I think. Bit strange as most colleges are on holiday.

Stargal

Wow, that's brilliant! The competition for the Smedias is fierce so congratulations to everyone who was nominated so far (and here's to loads more over the next few days )

Special shout out to David Traynor for getting nominated for his TFM current affairs show after working his ass off on it for - what is it, 2? 3? years now? Also to Gearóid for getting TNT nominated for magazine of the year - think that's the first time that that's happened iirc and well-deserved

dtraynor

Thanks Chris. In fairness, thanks should be given to Garreth and Brendan for making me put the entry in. I didn't think it was worthy enough.

Moorsy

When was your show on David? Can it be downloaded?

Dave3x

It's mad that I've entered this and didn't even know that some of the nominees were up.

TN and TNT were always likely to be shortlisted, but I'm really happy that Martin McKenna has a chance in the News Photography section. He worked hard this year and took some great photos.

By the way, I hope everyone's voted for TN in the People's choice award on www.oxygen.ie ?

Good luck with getting nominated Dave, hope you get it:)

Martin McKenna's photos were excellent this year - he must have a really strong chance of winning that category.

And I'll go vote for TN now... have to try and beat those culchie colleges that mobilise the whole student body for this category!

Too right.

And as for being nominated, thanks, but it's a long shot. TN alone had 44 entries across all categories; imagine the numbers nationwide.

Another few thrown up, with some from Trinity...

Dave, congratulations, that's brilliant 26 nominations for Trinity so far (1 more than UCDDD ) and 11 for Trinity News - well done everyone involved.

From the oxygen.ie website...

Below is the initial shortlist for the 3 Smedias 2007. Please note that there's more categories on the way, and that the categories below will be further shortlisted. This is a shortlist, not nominations. Nominations will be published on the site early next week.

I wonder if they are not releasing the others until they whittle down the ones which are displayed already?

The only award they took home last year was Layout & Design; the impression I got at the awards last year was that they were always close to winning other awards but just never quite good enough. Plus last year there was a lot of buzz about the paper and some really imaginative front pages; I've heard nothing about them this year.

It's crazy that TN didn't get nominated for layout and design - major :eek: :eek: :eek: Great to see TNT did though.

Slightly baffling how the awards are on Tuesday and how some of the categories haven't even been placed on the website (shortlisted and/or nominated). I count 4 which haven't been put online.

I've wondered about the same thing, especially for people who are coming up from the country (UCC, NUIG, UL...) it's a big enough trip, and they should be given a bit of notice for it. It's still pretty shoddy for the Dublin colleges too though.

I was talking to Colman who runs ****** at the end of last year's awards and he was really talking up the Tribune (I think he was in the Tribune himself in college but could be wrong).

Last year as far as I can remember I was the only person shortlisted for both newspaper and layout and design of the year so the Observer may not have been, not 100% on that though.

But that means nothing; as we found out last year when the single most worthy writer that I saw during my 4 years at college papers wasn't even nominated, Colman isn't involved in either shortlisting or deciding the winners. He could think the Tribune is the greatest paper in the world and it wouldn't make a difference.

And yes, the UCD Observer was also nominated for newspaper and layout/design last year.

Stargal

Big congratulations to Myth, who has been shortlisted for the Website of the Year category! TN has been nominated for it too, plus the Astronomy & Space Soc. TFM didn't make the shortlist for either of the categories it was nominated for unfortunately

TN won Newspaper of the Year (major w00tage!), Journalist of the Year (David Molloy, aka Dave3x), Website of the Year (designed by Brian Henry) and Travel Writer of the Year (Jago Tennant).
