Revision as of 01:49, 22 June 2017

The FLOPPYs are a joke awards event started in 2006 in response to the dreadfulness of the YUMAs that year. They were created by Matthew Tole and Sarah Leese, the new and outgoing Station Directors at the time. They were named the FLOPPYs because that was the best object they could come up for prizes - floppy disks. After some discussion, it became an acronym: For the Love Of the People and Programmes of YSTV.

The awards continued after 2006 with many regular categories, including Nicest Member. New awards were also introduced including The Bew Award (for Doing a Bew), named after Emma Bew and the Alex Muller Award for Presentness. In recent years, the floppy disks have been augmented with (uncategorised) Deeply Valued Departed discs for the graduating members. Traditionally the awards are organised by the new and outgoing Station Directors and the Social Sec, and held upstairs at Evil Eye.

Awards by Year

The point of the FLOPPYs is to give every active member at least one award.
