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. 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, rather than winners being chosen by a select group. | 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]]. | ||

===2002=== | |||
Held at Merchant Adventurer's Hall. | |||
===2003=== | |||
Held at The Hilton near Clifford's Tower. After initial involvement in meetings YSTV pulled out after it was realised most of the active members would be immersed in final year exams and practical work the day after the ceremony, and the few who could attend would most probably be ridiculed for the minimal turnout and having to pick up most awards on behalf of others. [[Jonathan Bufton]] did however attend after being nominated for his [[URY]] show. | |||
===2004=== | |||
Held at Next Generation Gym, with guest speaker former student and Daily Mail journalist Peter Hitchens. | |||
