Many congratulations to our 2024 prize winners and nominees. We celebrated towards the end of the 2024-25 autumn term with an online ceremony, featuring a keynote speech from alum Jyuddah Jaymes (BA Professional Acting 2018).⁠

Each of our winners demonstrated skills and attributes which make them generous, collaborative and passionate members of our creative community. We’d also like to take this as an opportunity to thank the individuals and organisations who have donated these prizes.⁠
