    The BICS 2018 Awards were held on Friday 13th of April at the Radisson Blu in Little Island, Cork, and as always, a fantastic 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 2018 were DIT with 5 awards, closely followed by DCU and NUIG with 3 each.

    ITB returned to the BICS Awards for the first time since 2011, and WIT returned for the first time since 2001.

    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).

    As of the 2018 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, Limerick IT, Mary Immaculate (MIC), National College of Ireland (NCI), Shannon College of Hotel Management (SCHM), Waterford IT (WIT)

    NUIG: 50
    DCU: 33
    DIT: 28
    IT Tallaght: 27 + 1 Special Mention
