BICS All-time Leaderboard - 2016 Update!

dramabob

The BICS 2016 Awards were held on Thursday 14th of April at the Radisson Blu in Limerick, and once again, a cracking night was had by all! I've put together the updated BICS all-time leader board reflecting this year's winners…

The big winners for 2016 were IT Tallaght with 5 awards, closely followed by DIT and NUIG with 4 each.

About BICS: BICS divides their members into the following categories:

Large College: 7500 Students or more
Small Colleges: 7499 Students or less

This criterion has changed over the years (and/or colleges have grown/shrunk), so some colleges have appeared in both categories over the years (e.g. UL, DCU, MU).

Changes for 2016:

- There is a new award for 2016: Best Mental Health Promoting Event.

As of the 2016 Awards, the current BICS membership is made up of:

Large Colleges: DCU, DIT, MU, NUIG, UCC, UL, Ulster University (UU)
Small Colleges: CIT, DBS, DkIT, GMIT, IT Blanchardstown, IT Tallaght, IT Tralee, Letterkenny IT, Mary Immaculate (MIC), National College of Ireland (NCI), Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI), Shannon College of Hotel Management (SCHM)

EDIT! A discrepancy was discovered in the adjudication tallies for Best New Society (Small College) a week following the awards, which resulted in Mary Immaculate College's St. Vincent de Paul Society coming in joint first place with IT Tallaght's Cumann Gaelach.

The BICS 2016 Awards were held on Thursday 14th of April at the Radisson Blu in Limerick, and once again, a cracking night was had by all! I've put together the updated BICS all-time leader board reflecting this year's winners…

The big winners for 2016 were IT Tallaght with 5 awards, closely followed by DIT and NUIG with 4 each.

About BICS: BICS divides their members into the following categories:

Large College: 7500 Students or more
Small Colleges: 7499 Students or less

This criterion has changed over the years (and/or colleges have grown/shrunk), so some colleges have appeared in both categories over the years (e.g. UL, DCU, MU).

Changes for 2016:

- There is a new award for 2016: Best Mental Health Promoting Event.

As of the 2016 Awards, the current BICS membership is made up of:

Large Colleges: DCU, DIT, MU, NUIG, UCC, UL, Ulster University (UU)
Small Colleges: CIT, DBS, DkIT, GMIT, IT Blanchardstown, IT Tallaght, IT Tralee, Letterkenny IT, Mary Immaculate (MIC), National College of Ireland (NCI), Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI), Shannon College of Hotel Management (SCHM)
