The York University Media Awards, or YUMAs, is the campus media's annual booze filled backslap-athon, first held in 2001. [[Nouse]], [[URY]], [[Vision]], [[Cinematography Society]] and YSTV traditionally took it turns to arrange an awards evening, in which each society gave out their own awards rather than compete against other societies. In YSTV's case, this involved voting on old favourites, such as Best Show, Best Female and the like. Unlike other societies, YSTV members all have a vote on their categories (and indeed the categories chosen), rather than winners being chosen by a select group.

Unlike other societies, YSTV members all have a vote on their categories (and indeed the categories chosen), rather than winners being chosen by a select group. In this respect the ceremony is a light-hearted way to end the year often including joke categories, unlike [[NaSTA]]. | ||
{{unsure|In recent years}} the YUMAs seem to have turned into more traditional awards, with categories being pre-selected and nominations submitted by societies, with the judging by a group of YUSU staff and students. | |||

Has a page of photos including one of the YSTV group over at [[http://ury.york.ac.uk/events/2006/yumas06/index.php URY]]. As a result of the awfulness of that year's event YSTV held their own spoof awards ceremony, the [[FLOPPYs]]. | ||

===2011=== | |||
Held in the Ron Cooke Hub, because of the papers' punch-up in YUSU's Courtyard bar after 2010's YUMAs. | |||
*Best Technical Achievement for [[Michael Chislett]]'s [[YSTV 3D|first ever 3D student television in the world]]. | |||
::This greatly upset URY's technical team, as they had just spent a whole holiday creating a new digital studio with touch screens and other shiny things. What made this worse was knowing that we had only put around 3 hours of work into making the 3D test footage. | |||
*Best Animation/Graphics with [[Chris Young]]'s [[Roses]] 2011 overlay. | |||
YSTV famously campaigned against the "Society Slut" category with great moral upstanding, as this was not what we believed the YUMAs should be brought to. | |||
===2013=== | |||
Held at the Biltmore Bar and Grill. Particularly impressive winning 'Best Illustration' with a regurgitated ident. | |||
*Best Sports Coverage - [[Roses 2013]] | |||
*Best Illustration - [[Ducks 2012]] | |||
===2016=== | |||
A small delegation from YSTV ([[Kenric Yuen]], [[Jemma Carr]] and [[Caroline Middleton]]) did go, in spite of our small membership that year. | |||
*Best Event Coverage - [[Futsal]] | |||
===2017=== | |||
Organised by [[URY]] last minute and held at Yates in town. YSTV mainly attended for the promise of free food but the the highlights of the evening were The Lemon Press' heckles, £1 pints and [[Edwin Barnes]]' (repeated) dabbing. We also won some awards! | |||
