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: '''F'''or the '''L'''ove '''O'''f the '''P'''eople and '''P'''rogrammes of '''Y'''STV. | The FLOPPYs are a joke awards event started in 2006 in response to the dreadfulness of the [[YUMAs]] that year.

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''. Traditionally the awards are organised by the new and outgoing [[Station Director]]s and the Social Sec, and held upstairs at [http://www.evileyelounge.com/ Evil Eye]. | The awards continued after 2006 with many regular categories, including ''Nicest Member''.
