=== Best Art ===
The coverage for YSTV is mostly collaborate with LA1. Chris Osborn and Jess Beard is the technical and production contact respectively. LA1 had rent a truck to bring along 2 O.B. Kit along with many cameras and equipment (but one of the O.B. kit end up not being used at all.
'''Winner: ''' Kerry, from YUSU


'''Runners up'''
In planning there is up to 3 O.B. unit and a studio show operate each day, but in practice due to lack of crew and LA1 "didnt think how to set it up" we only have 2 O.B. unit with Studio show.

* Dan dancing
* YSTV MCR ops, for Moon Chav recitals (many of)

* LA1, for their ATEM 2 M/E that was too hot to reboot when it broke


=== Biggest oversight ===
The weekend went really well!!! We generated lots of lovely content including 5 half-hour daytime studio shows, 3 two-hour evening shows (OB), lots of VoD content and two sports coverage OBs each morning/afternoon.
'''Winner:''' LA1, for forgetting to plan an OB from a swimming pool until the OB arrived at the swimming pool.


'''Runners up'''
Things that went well:
* [[Sam Nicholson]], for exporting a VT and promptly deleting said VT before moving it onto the VT server.
* YSTV, for putting Windows Explorer live on stream at the beginning of the first day
* YSTV, for assuming James Network would be fine for the weekend. It wasn't.

* LA1, for managing to mis-match their ATEM firmware to installed software, and then losing the laptop with the correct version on


=== Most creative solution to a non-existent problem ===
Studio shows: the guests all showed up on time, scripts were ready on time, VTs were ready  on time most of the time
Or something that shouldn't have been a problem
As usual, everyone chipped in to get everything done on time, and worked really hard!
OBs: We had some new people we put in charge, and they did really well, set up and break  down was good


'''Winner:''' Lloyd Wallis and Robert Walker, for providing network for the Vanbrugh screen after YUSU's plan fell through
Things that we could have done better:
 
-A suggestion for all future big productions: Put up a big white board in the studio and list the crew call on it for each day, and tell people that they have to check it at the end of the day for the next day. Maybe do crew call the week before, and get people to commit ahead of time?
'''Runners up'''
-Don’t plan to cover content that we don’t have the crew for, in other words, don’t be overly ambitious
* LA1, for vision mixing on a videohub during darts
-Communicate with LA1: TV regarding how we work, maybe have a meeting in person in the future
* LA1, for the outside wireless mic run for the opening ceremony
-Make sure that people eat enough/at decent times…
* Many people, for the fireworks camera that went Camera->HDMI->SDI over coax->HDMI->Wireless HDMI->HDMI->SDI over fibre->SDI over coax->ATEM
