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.  In this respect the cermeony is a light-hearted way to end the year often including joke categories, unlike [[NaSTA]].

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!
*Best Coverage - [[Roses 2017]]
*Best Entertainment [[Strong and Stable Livestream]]
*Best Newcomer [[Matthew Stratford]]
